Reflection
Critical thinking skills to the 21st century means to think critically to
form a concept and thoughts more vividly. Critical thinking empowers
students to discover the truth in assertions, especially when it comes to
separating fact from opinion. With critical thinking, students don't just
learn a set of facts or figures. Instead, they learn how to discover the
facts and figures for themselves. They ask questions. Critical thinking
can help you better understand yourself, and in turn, help you avoid any
kind of negative or limiting beliefs, and focus more on your strengths.
Being able to share your thoughts can increase your quality of life.
