Critical thinking

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

The reason as to why I chose the article, has to do with a topic I hear often throughout my English courses. This reminded me of the time where I have to write my essays and have to have an analysis or an approach to my thesis statement. The reason why this topic matters, has to do with the way society approaches things, and obtains answers to the problem. There is more to it because it is important to understand how critical thinking functions and learning the functions of it. This is a way to show the reader of this article that there is a history behind this and a research that shows how critical thinking is a useful utensil for work or research. My impression was sensing an emotion of understanding and feeling comfortable approaching the topic because "Critical Thinking" was not the first time hearing or reading. Although, when I saw that the website offered information about the depths and details of critical thinking, I immediately wanted to learn more about and know where it came from, and how did it later evolve to become known as "Critical Thinking".
