Critical Thinking: Theta (Chaahat)

In kickstarting the critical thinking class for the year 2023-24, we delved into the realms of critical thinking, theory of knowledge, and the exploration of sources of knowledge. The agenda was thoughtfully designed to foster discussions on the interplay between science and beliefs, the importance of critical thinking in real-life scenarios, and the examination of the movie “Oppenheimer.” Throughout the session, we engaged in stimulating conversations about critical thinking, its significance in our lives, and its application in various scenarios. We explored the intricate relationship between science and beliefs, delving into the complexities of reconciling empirical evidence with deeply held convictions. One highlight of the life class was the screening of the movie “Oppenheimer,” which provided a thought-provoking exploration of critical thinking and its ethical implications. We analyzed the characters’ decision-making processes, dissecting the moral dilemmas they faced. This exercise allowed us to reflect on the importance of critical thinking in navigating complex situations and making sound judgments. Furthermore, we delved into real-life scenarios where critical thinking becomes paramount. From ethical dilemmas to problem-solving challenges, we examined how applying critical thinking skills can lead to better outcomes and more informed decision-making.
Overall, the life class was an incredibly insightful experience that left a lasting impact on my approach to knowledge and decision-making. It reinforced the significance of critical thinking in our personal and professional lives, empowering us to question, analyze, and evaluate information more effectively.
