Palembang, 11st December 2024 — Did you know, guys? Critical thinking is the ability to analyze, evaluate, and conclude information in a logical and objective way. However, this ability is often considered unimportant. For example, some students choose not to ask or even search for what they have received, even though in the current digital era sometimes information is often inaccurate. This critical thinking is very important for the youth. They face the challenge of sorting facts from opinions and recognizing biases that may exist in various sources of information. Let’s deep dive more about it!
The Benefits of Critical Thinking
Public speaking, creative thinking, and leadership skills are just a few of the many areas that can improve by developing critical thinking abilities, fostering creativity, and enhancing leadership qualities. Critical thinking also plays an important role in preparing the youth for an increasingly complex work environment. Today, many companies seek employees who possess not only technical expertise but also strong analytical and creative thinking abilities. The ability to organize thoughts and convey arguments clearly will enhance communication skills, which are highly needed in team collaboration.

Become a Critical Thinker with some Exercises
Developing the ability to think critically requires consistent habits and continuous practice. This critical thinking skill can be developed through argumentation practice, analyzing information from various sources, asking critical questions, and reflecting on one’s own thoughts. Through these stages of practice, an individual’s sense of courage will be built if done consistently.

So, critical thinking is a very important skill for today’s generation, given the challenges and complexities of the world they face. The ability to analyze and evaluate information critically not only helps individuals make better decisions, but also protects them from misinformation and negative influences. In addition, critical thinking skills are also valuable assets in the workplace, where innovation and adaptability are needed.
Therefore, it is important for the education system to integrate critical thinking teaching. For example, through AIESEC where we believe leadership is the key to driving personal and community development. AIESEC in Unsri offer various projects for young people, we help them build critical thinking skills, preparing future generations to become wise leaders and responsible citizens in a constantly evolving world!
Last but not least, let’s create a quality generation together!
