Critical thinking involves moving from simple to complex understanding. It examines complex topics by explaining them simply to people with different levels of knowledge, and evaluates information from various sources to assess reliability. Some ways to practice critical thinking include interpreting facial expressions and emotions, analyzing meanings behind proverbs, and identifying clues in mysteries to make inferences. Self-assessment includes recognizing personal biases to strengthen arguments.
