Critical Thinking Journal Entry #1

Critical thinking is a process in which you analyze every aspect and variable of an issue until you understand it to the best of your knowledge. I like to believe that I think critically whenever I am given a difficult decision or question to answer. Lets say I have a certain math problem that I have either never seen before, or that I don't recognize. In my critical thinking process I will explore every facet of that problem until I find a pattern, or an answer to the variables of the equation that can be checked by reiterating them into the equation. Usually I do not think critically in situations that I need to respond quickly to. When someone asks me a question and I am expected to give a response immediately I do not have time to give a critically thoughtful explanation.
