Description :
Critical thinking is the ability to think which is complex by using a process of analysis and evaluation of information received or in solving problems, or the meaning of critical thinking is thinking to find the truth about the information received or in solving problems, a critical way of thinking that is calm, not emotionally, put logic first, understand the problem, do analysis, and evaluate the results, then make a decision or action.
Analysis :
Critical Thinking is a thought process actively understand the problem clearly, gather information, reason, create decisions, and reflect on them and be able to communicate and argue about the decision. And there are several types and kinds of thinking :
1) Autistic Thinking (daydreaming) or in other words, fantasy, fantasizing and wishful thinking is an example of autism. With the occurrence of autistic thinking processes, then people escape reality and see life as fantastic pictures.
2) Realistic Thinking or in other words is also called reasoning is thinking in order to conform to the real world.
3) Evaluative thinking Evaluative thinking is a process of critical thinking by judging its merits and whether or not an idea is appropriate. In evaluative thinking, we only judge according to certain criteria and do not increase or decrease the ideas.
Critical thinking is not only up to the stage of competence to analyze and conclude a problem, but we will be directed to be able to communicate as well create something that has a positive impact on himself and those around him. In this case, we must be able to play an active role in problem-solving and we must really be able to create problems or solve problems in a complicated situation later
Evaluation :
Based on the explanation above, then I conclude that critical thinking is a must begins to actually be carried out within each and every human being. So that in the future, every human being in this world has a strong nature and is not careless in making decisions, and can contribute in developing self-character. By thinking critically, it is hoped that each of us will be better at dealing with problems in everyday life. Has a strong character and is not easy to take information just like that.
