Critical thinking is a way of thinking that we should have. From my point of view, critical thinking allows you to look at things in a way that more holistic and find their shortcomings.
Believe it or not, I think critical thinking is good for our study and life. Critical thinking allows us to think more about things rather than just accepting what others think. This can exercise our brains and improve our thinking ability. Therefore, taking advantage of critical thinking can make our thinking more active.
Besides, critical thinking can make us think for ourselves so that we dare to challenge authority. We all heard the story of Galileo when we were children. Galileo dared to challenge authority and proved his point through Pisa experiments. At that time, teachers often took this as an example to teach us to challenge authority. That's what requires us to learn critical thinking. Critical thinking can make us think hard when we study and dare to find mistakes in our teachers' lectures. So as to promote the progress of our study.
In philosophy, critical thinking is an important thought of materialist dialectics. Therefore, critical thinking is also crucial to the development of society. In the process of social development, critical thinking requires us to adhere to the reform and opening up of advance with times. Critical thinking can avoid sticking to old ways and thus promote the continuous development of society.
To sum up, critical thinking allows us to see things more comprehensively and discover all aspects of things. So we should develop our critical thinking to make our thinking more flexible.
