It's normal to wonder about the world around us. Some questions are big, and some are small. Sometimes questions can spark debate and argument. All critical thinking starts with at least one question. Gather Evidence: First, find information--from making observations to interviewing experts to researching a topic online or in books. Then make connections and draw conclusions.Evaluating Evidence: Smart thinkers evaluate the importance, accuracy and relevancy of the information they gather.Getting Curious: Consider other points of view, examine your own point of view, understand the power of emotion, and practice empathy.Draw Conclusions: The final step in the critical thinking process, this is based on reason and evidence. Revisit your original question, review the evidence and what you've learned, and consider your values. And remember: critical thinking doesn't stop when you've reached a decision.
