Lack of critical thinking means lack of correct distinction between problems and meanings.
Critical Thinking is to evaluate thinking through certain standards, and then improve thinking. It is a reasonable and reflective thinking, which is both a thinking skill and a thinking tendency. The original origin can be traced back to Socrates. In modern society, critical thinking is generally established as one of the goals of education, especially higher education.
Critical thinking refers to skills and attitudes. There is no disciplinary boundary, and any topic involving intelligence or imagination can be examined from the perspective of critical thinking. Critical thinking is not only a thinking skill, but also a personality or temperament; It can not only reflect the level of thinking, but also highlight the modern humanistic spirit.
"critical" comes from Greek kriticos (asking questions, understanding the meaning of something and having the ability to analyze, that is, "the ability to distinguish or judge") and kriterion (standard). Etymologically, the word implies the development of "discriminating judgment based on standards".
