Q

Explain what Critical thinking is.

A

The complexities of human society and social relationships require critical thinking for careful analysis and possible solutions necessary for a deeper understanding of and a greater appreciation of the broader social context.

intentional critical thinking will guide us in coming up with possible solutions. broader social context alludes to the org’s outward orientation (our reach does not stop in the org, the college, or the university); things shouldn’t be taken at face value, we should always be critical of why people act this way, why these decisions are made, and et cetera
