In life, we are brought to make decisions. It is in these situations that we must responsibly employ our ability to think critically. Stable reasoning and logic are finitely essential components for decision making, however it is critical thought that is the less thought of, but quite often more important role. Individuals whom possess the ability to think critically can analyze a scenario, consider and collect valuable information concerning and relating to the problem at hand, and use the findings to determine a solution. When thinking critically, individuals should consider themselves as skeptics, and in doing so look deeper into the scenario. In this state of skepticism, individuals should consider who is supplying the information, as well as consider the scenario's circumstances. To be specific, individuals should be in search of any and all traces of bias. Bias can be defined as someone's personal view of the world as shaped through their experiences and opinions. Bias, although not necessarily a negative, is something that will alter the natural and organic essence of a situation. Sometimes it can be altered for negative influence and sometimes for positive influence. It is important however that we maintain a bias-aware perspective when reading, learning about, or recounting a situation so that we may preserve the sanctity and natural organic character of a situation, ridden-free of our personal influence. Maintaining critical thought processes, portraying skepticism, and being ever watchful for bias are all relevant while reading an article from National Geographic Magazine. When summarizing an article, the most essential of these three components is maintaining a critical thought process. .
