•Critical Thinking Skills are those mental processes that assist in acts of decision-making.
•The better one’s proficiency in these skills is developed, the better the quality of one’s decisions will be, and the more other people will rely on one’s judgment.
•Critical Thinking Skills are the tools of management and organization and strategic planning, not just in business but also in all aspects of life.
•Writing is where these skills are most often demonstrated, and other people will constantly be evaluating your use of Critical Thinking Skills in your writing to decide whether or not they should trust your judgment
