Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Hugo O'Donnell

Our mind has a strong tendency to form beliefs to make sense of existence. Human beings cannot help but have beliefs that guide them in their thinking and their actions, but today they live in an increasingly artificial and manipulated world in which beliefs often turn out to be illusions.




Furthermore, the human mind is subjected, for evolutionary reasons, to cognitive illusions that distort our perception of the world by inducing many prejudices or errors (cognitive bias). So how can we break out of these prisons?




"Critical Thinking" is able to conceptualize, apply, analyze, synthesize and actively and expertly evaluate the information gathered by a precise observation, reasoning or experience. It also has the ability to identify, analyze and evaluate situations, ideas and information in order to formulate responses to problems.
