CRITICAL THINKING clarifies goals, examines assumptions, discerns hidden values, evaluates evidence, accomplishes actions, and evaluates conclusions by:

Asking important and hard questions Not accepting simple answers and

solutions Always wanting to know more Thinking outside the box

AWARENESS Critical thinking raises our

awareness. The more we know, the more

important it is for us to act. Action must focus on the root causes

of the oppression.

SILENCE IS NOT AN OPTION!
