Critical Thinking Paper

The author will be introducing a paper in which she discusses critical thinking and how this form of thinking has affected her personal in her own life.

The author believes that critical thinking is a process in which she can alter her thoughts, so that these thoughts are better understood.

Critical Thinking Defined

Critical thinking is a process in which a person actively participates, and with skill comes to conclusions that are based on what a person has seen, experienced, and what one may believe.

Critical thinking is therefore, the evaluation of those structures or basics of thought restricted to the way of thinking.

After the chat with her colleague, she just sat quietly for a few hours thinking about the can of warms she was about to open, all the while knowing what had to be done.
