Life is critical with lots of problems, where we need to do critical thinking to find the solutions. We have to change with time and we make changes in life for the best. During the sessions, we got an opportunity to browse through a list of biases which revolves around an individual throughout his\/her life, I came to know about my bias too. I do have confirmation bias, which means the tendency to search for, interpret, focus on and remember information in a way that confirms one’s preconceptions. Focusing effects which means the tendency to place too much importance on one aspect of an event. \u00a0My aim to join this workshop is to exploring \u00a0into new learning with new ideas . I am trying to apply and, now I am looking forward to \u00a0become a critical thinker and watch my thoughts and analyse my thinking so that it goes in the right direction. Keep thinking critically. \u00a0I have started thinking Critical in my thought while buying things and while making decision of life . I am positive about\u00a0this workshop.<\/p>\n
