Welcome back to our weekly Drop in the Ocean post where we feature the amazing content that was created for the show.

This weeks topic was Cirtical Thinking and a person will be forgiven for feeling that it is not a simple matter of just thinking critically. To quote the winner from this weeks show:

It's more high brow.

Now critical thinking can surely be that, as many things can be as complex as you wish to make them. Our daily lives often feel akin to a Rube Goldberg machine, and the benefit is that we can simplify it. Why we do not is what will leave us baffled once we take pause and critically think about the situation.

To see what we discussed during the show, you have to keep reading, visit the posts and show some support while you dive deep into the topic of critical thinking from this weeks Drop in the Ocean show.

@JuliaMulcahy

Effectively demystifying critical thinking for us in terms I am sure many will understand as she not only addresses what critical thinking is considered in loftier terms.

Critical thinking involves analysis of facts. It involves thinking about complex topics. It involves judgement.

@JuliaMulcahy then provides us with a clear and simple to understand example of critical thinking in its simplest form.

Be sure to head over and enjoy her opinion on this topic, sharing one of the most important questions we can ask with advice we can all strive to follow - Read her post now.

@YouHaveWings

Diving deep into the topic for this week, @YouHaveWings highlights the importance of critical thinking from the beginning.

Critical thinking is a fundamental tool for steering one's life. No one has achieved great success without possessing the skill of critical thinking and thinking independently.

Sharing how critical thinking has been used and by whom to empower and move forward society as a whole, she also states that critical thinking should not be considered something beyond our grasp. Instead, it is something me we need a lot more of in our society.
