The ability to think critically doesn't just enhance problem-solving capabilities, but it also unleashes creative and independent thinking. All of these are crucial for good decision-making outcomes in many aspects of life, including academics, career, relationships, and everyday situations. Furthermore, in a world that is becoming more and more complicated, it has never been more important to think critically about what we hear and read, so we can navigate this dynamically complex world of diverse perspectives, information overload, and rapid technological advancement.
