For me, critical thinking is about objectively analyzing an issue or an argument based on its merits or demerits. \u00a0It is not about being judgmental or getting personal. Before attending this workshop, I had not realized the extent of impact of critical thinking on our everyday behavior and its consequences. I had always thought that critical thinking applies to larger issues and not to our day to day life. This workshop has made me realize that critical thinking is applicable everywhere whether it is buying dove for us or the kind of milk that we have to choose.<\/p>\n
When I was going through the list of biases, it seemed to me that all of them have been designed specifically just for me. \u00a0But after careful consideration, I realized that I have is status quo bias, which says, every change is painful. You don\u2019t accept changes easily because you don\u2019t want to come out of your comfort zone. Even a small change, like changing the direction of my bed, makes me sleepless for a night or two. But then I have realized that the change is inevitable. Though changing is difficult, not changing can be fatal.<\/p>\n
