“Not only do we tend to think about the world according to what we want to see and what we need to see, we tend to think in terms of what we expect to see.”
In critical thinking there are a lot of elements of thought. First you have to have a purpose or objective that you are trying to get to. You also need a question or an issue and information to solve the issue. Then you have a conclusion. But before you ask the question you have to have a theory. With this comes consequences. and last but not least point of view.
