Mentioned by 2 participants: ” ‘Critical thinking’ enables a conscious awareness in an individual to not take things at their face value, put aside their own biases and make the best possible decisions according to the situation at hand” (x1), “Otherwise the individual won’t be able to make informed decisions. Others will be able to dictate what the person will believe and do, as they are likely to base their decisions, belief and judgments on feelings and bias” (x1).
