œCritical thinking involves deliberating in a purposeful, organized manner to assess the value of information.
œThe following barriers to critical thinking
1. Existing beliefs: we are culturally conditioned to resist change and feel that own way is best.
2. Wishful thinking: believing things that we know are not true because we want them to be true.
3. Hasty Moral Judgments: Do you tend to evaluate someone or something as good or bad, right or wrong, and remain fixed in this thinking? Such judgments are often prejudiced, intolerant, emotional, and self-righteous.
