Stephen Brookfield on Creative & Critical Thinking


I think that if a person thinks critically, that person is making a process in his/her mind. All of the prior means that no one has to get everything for granted. We have to discern about the things that are presented in front of us, be it political, educational, or anything in life.

Of course professor Brookfield mentions about teaching which is our field and we have to be very critical not to believe everything at a first glance. He just brought many things we have to think about when thinking critically.

Fake news has existed from the very beginning of humanity since humans have a natural sense of not only saying the truth but also the ability to deceive others. Today it still exists and moreover these days when we have different means of spreading whatever we want in a matter of seconds. The impact of fake news can be very significant because it can threaten many things that surround us in this world. For example, government things, journalism, not to mention many other things in our daily lives. According to The Guardian for example, fake news on Facebook relating to President Trump’s election was a kind of boom since most people believed that that election was influenced by Russian government. This kind of news does not affect only adults but it also affects children.
