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!
