Final Thoughts

Content: A critical thinker is selective on how they use the process, selecting specific issues worth consideration and not using it to reflect on every mundane problem. There are many reasons to be optimistic about people becoming better critical thinkers. As with Socrates, individuals can be taught methodology to guide them to more rational and objective conclusions. With the need for effective self-reflection, problem-solving, consensus-building, the demand for critical thinkers has only grown.
