There are many definitions of critical thinking, Dr. Richard Paul said that critical thinking is the art of analysing and evaluating thinking with a view to improve it. We need our imagination to think and critical thinking helps us to be better people, and to how other think. the first step is the analysing and this is the part were we bother our ideas and group them then we move to the other part which is the evaluating so we could understand the point and to give better orders.

We think critically every day without knowing that for example if we are going to the cinema we will ask who's the director? is it in 3D? who's in the movie? what my friends say about it ? does it matter? but when it comes for something series in the society such as "who to vote for" it becomes much harder and it takes more time, and by asking questions you will cut of the what people say without thinking by asking them the questions and this will lead to discussions with them. discussions and debate can promote critical thinking and that produced more involved citizens. and researches showed that the students who have discussions in the class be more likely to vote and to volunteer in many places. critical thinking does develop people.

3. What is the difference between "critical thinking" and "creative thinking"?

Creative thinking involves creating something new or original. It involves the skills of flexibility, originality, fluency, elaboration, brainstorming, modification, imagery, associative thinking, attribute listing, metaphorical thinking, and forced relationships. The aim of creative thinking is to stimulate curiosity and promote divergence. Critical thinking involves logical thinking and reasoning, including skills such as comparison, classification, sequencing, cause/effect, patterning, webbing, analogies, deductive and inductive reasoning, forecasting, planning, hypothesizing, and critiquing.
