Five simple strategies to sharpen your critical thinking | BBC Ideas

Shame the biased broadcasting corporation lacks any self awareness to realise how ironic this is.

I don't see much critical thinking in the comments. More like same think.

One thing I do that has served me well is when listening, reading, watching a video is when finding myself biased more than a bit is to reread as if I'd never heard of the subject before, as if I have no opinion about it. Most times I do find that if I have the desire to persue the topic to learn as much as I can or at least as many different opinions that I can find whatever opinion I did have prior to this changes.

loveee the animationnnn😊

Came here because of toxic social media. You encourage people to be skeptical and ask questions, but they think that you want them to treat you nicely. No, its called facing the facts. No emotions or feelings. And they dont want to question. Aye

I sharpened my critical thinking by no longer watching the toxic BBC and cancelled my license.

Graphics are hilarious!

don't understand shit

My brain: ay mi amor ay mi amor

Interesting video a few problems, that is mainstream media like BBC is highly questionable when it comes to credibility. Most intelligent individual's would highly question anything coming from Mainstream media or other external sources.

What if humanity focused on the more important things.

monkeeeeee!

Surely, they missed the most obvious and most important tip? Ask questions - lots of them, all in some way related to the thing on your mind. Try to find correct answers / honest opinions.

Any data to back up the conclusions here?

Thanks, but critically thinking your very last statement re critical thinking skills lead to understanding. Or maybe they increase the vicious responses by your opponent to match your skills of telling them so.

“Sealioning?” Don’t you mean trolling? Critical thinking requires knowledge of a subject that most people lack. Believing you know science because sometimes tells you they’re a scientist often leads to failure. Beware more of liars. They are far more prevalent than you think.

Nice, we need critical thinking especially in today's world. Here are a few more steps:
1. Be tolerant.
2. Consider the feelings of others and yourself.
3. Ask questions.
4. Be skeptical, yet be open-minded.
5. Understand others views, even if you don't agree.

Fantastic video, thanks!

i love this channel so much <3

I think the hard easy effect is something to overcome.

be actively prepared to change your mind, beware of confirmation bias

something that seems normal can be more nuanced than you think, think of things you know in a broader or more intricate aspect

have intellectual empathy, try to understand where another is coming from

check your sources ! basics of scientifically methodology

Bbc teaches how to critically think😭😭🤣

From bbc ideas lol

The BBC teaching critical thinking! Oh the irony!

Brilliant by all means. However I wonder why such critical thinking is not applied in British War reporting. Unfortunate amount of information biased is evident. Sadly people will start to loose faith on such media outlets on the long run.

I really needed to watch this. Thank you!

i like the munkis

The BBC lecturing others on how to critically think. Oh the irony.
