Critical Thinking

Asking good questions. Making smart decisions.

Why It Matters

Not everything you hear is true. Not every answer is right.


Critical thinking helps you break things down, spot the facts, and choose wisely.

How You Know You’ve Got It

  1. You ask “why?” a lot

  2. You don’t believe everything at first glance

  3. You weigh the pros and cons before deciding

How To Level Up

  1. Next time you see a post online—fact-check it

  2. Before deciding something big, list 2-3 options

  3. Ask, “What might I be missing here?”
