Critical thinking is about thinking about your own thinking. In order to understand your own thinking, one needs to understand whats feeding their thoughts? Do you look at the news, read books or magazines that stretch your thinking? What attracts you more while watching the news or reading a book or even looking at a picture? How much importance do you give to these different mediums that your brain picks up everyday! How would a new news story affect your thinking, how would a movie affect the way you think regarding any topic. It is important to analyse the motivations behind your thoughts then only can you understand where it is coming from, and how much does it represent your true self!
