Critical Thinking and Decision Making

Critical Thinking is defined as the systematic evaluation of arguments based on explicit rational criteria (Browne and Stuart IX). Deductive reasoning is the first tool that reasonable people can use to improve their critical thinking skills. Critical thinking requires people to be able to find the faulty reasoning and deductions in an argument. Incorrect or inconclusive assumptions must be identified and dissected to make sense of any argument. Asking the right questions is very important in the process of critical thinking. Decision is defined as the process of coming to a conclusion or determination about something. Decisions are easy to make. The right decision requires a great deal of skill.

Once all the information is assembled and analyzed then an intelligent decision can be made.
