Critical thinking is an important element of all professional fields and academic disciplines (by referencing their respective sets of permissible questions, evidence sources, criteria, etc.). Within the framework of scientific skepticism, the process of critical thinking involves the careful acquisition and interpretation of information and use of it to reach a well-justified conclusion. The concepts and principles of critical thinking can be applied to any context or case but only by reflecting upon the nature of that application. Critical thinking forms, therefore, a system of related, and overlapping, modes of thought such as anthropological thinking, sociological thinking, historical thinking, political thinking, psychological thinking, philosophical thinking, mathematical thinking, chemical thinking, biological thinking, ecological thinking, legal thinking, ethical thinking, musical thinking, thinking like a painter, sculptor, engineer, business person, etc. In other words, though critical thinking principles are universal, their application to disciplines requires a process of reflective contextualization.

''' The portion copied from Wikipedia shows the definition and the describe of Critical thinking and how it related to other more specific thinking we will use when we are facing academics. '''


 * 1)  According to Ennis, “Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action.”   This definition Ennis provided is highly agreed by Siegel H,   Facione P,   and Kuhn D. 

''' 2. According to the definition by Ennis. Critical thinking requires a lot of attention and brain function. When critical thinking approach toward education it will help the students brain to be more function-able and understand texts differently. '''

''' 3. Critical thinking can be specifically identified into many different portions, different fields of student requires different types of critical thinking. Critical thinking provides more angles and perspectives upon the same material, '''

Response from Thomas and Gilmathan
The content added seemed to be of high caliber, yet the lack of citations or a reference section took away from the entirety of the article. The other issue was with the quote being almost half of the article. The quote was well chosen, but needed a contextualization afterwards to link it more clearly to the rest of the writing.

Review from Kerv and Chris
