Critical Thinking #2

During my own personal history of education I have noticed that the majority of my studies have not incorporated the idea of critical thinking into their curriculum. The way that things have been presented and instructed to me have been done so through verbatim. Most of the work done in my prior education has been entirely from the book. Read the book due the bookwork. That is the usual way things went. I can say that we seldomly looked at critical thinking as a major element of education, when in actuality I believe that critical thinking is a part of everyday life skills. When I did complete all of my studies I retained many individual aspects of critical thinking that were not implied to me. So the statement that I am making is that education has done a poor job of incorporating and teaching the idea of critical thinking. With this said there needs to be some movement towards the incorporation of critical thinking in our education department. Even though critical thinking is not the easiest form of thinking it needs to be advocated in our studies. How does society expect to gerd up a new generation of doctors, scholars, political parties, historians, etc. The futue of this country depends on the people who take it upon themselves to further educate and broaden their minds.
