Critical thinking: a description

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

A graduate school is offering this for off campus students at five numbers entrance fee.  Fortunately, I had a chance to learn this and even teach this in entrep course I was handling at GSB.  I teach this/train our staff on this skill

It is very easy to fall into the conventional non critical thinking as we deal with our relatives and rest of our work force.  Critical thinking essentially stems from desire to decide intelligently,, separate the chaff from  the grains, and think logically.  Covered under the critical thinking topics are:

1.  Olo  -  observe learn observe
2.  Deductive reasoning (from general to particular)
3.   Inductive reasoning (from particular to general  (conclusion from data)
4.  Classifying, labelling

Not because an event happened before a another does it mean that it is the cause.

A particular event can not be held as universal truth.  Yet surveys make us think that way.

Innovative thinking, lateral thinking as formulated by Edward de Bono should be included here?

What was not discussed during my time is how crisis and extreme difficulties can can cause us to search for solutions that are bizarre and not done before
