Thinking Critically
Critical thinking is a way of looking at the world in an objective manner. To rarely take something for granted, or by someone’s word alone. Being that humans are fallible, we see it as necessary to learn and teach ourselves, our children, and others how to find out as much as they can on their own before deciding what they see as truth or fact.
The fact that most of us have grown up in rural United States and have decided against or questioned the majority views on religion goes to show that many of us are what we call free thinking individuals, and have already developed critical thinking skills.
