Content: however, it must be considered that they are not always correct. If people do not think critically and challenge ideas presented by other individuals, corporations, and the media, they can be manipulated and exploited. Corporations want to make money. They do this by convincing the general population that their product, or service, is good and that it is needed. Even if the product is completely useless, some people will buy it, or the corporation would not sell it. Take mobile phones for example. If someone has a perfectly functioning phone, why would they upgrade? It is because they are told that they need a new phone. By thinking critically, one might see that their old phone is fine and that they can save their money. When people are presented with ideas and concepts, it is important for them to be critical.
