Nowadays, it becomes a real deal to find mediums that share honest information. Thus, it is more and more important to know how to analyze the information that is given in the different mediums which are available in the current era. That was in a certain manner the goal of the lecture we participated in on last Thursday. I think that one the most important activities of a critical thinker is to ask him (or her) the good key questions, so that he (or she) could have an effective point of view toward the authenticity of the information divulged.
As people who are in a democratic country, we can say that we have the chance to get a diversity of information. Nevertheless, we don't know how to take advantage of this particularity...we are just unable to control the huge amount of the mass media news... we just absorb the information without thinking and THAT is an important issue in the current societies.
I was very interesting by this lecture; not because I've learnt more in the basis of critical thinking but specifically because the lecturer proposed us important questions that we need to consider before judging an article or TV news for example.
Thanks to Amanda Strong for having presented this lecture to us.
