What is critical thinking?

Critical thinking is a process to define, investigate, and assess a situation that could be a conflict, claim, argument, etc.

The process is in three simple phases:

1. The description is to describe clearly the subject by defining the goals, boundaries, restrictions, and the subject’s elements (stakeholders). Use the following keywords in this phase: who, what, where, when.
