Have you ever been involved in discussions with a group of people where one or two individuals made contributions that appeared to be far much better and more reasonable in comparison to others? Or have you ever been involved in an argument with a neighbor or another parent in school, and you could not understand why the other individual's reasoning and conclusions appeared to be so juvenile in comparison to yours?

Since human beings thrive in social environments, it is highly likely you have come across people whose thinking and reasoning are similar to yours and others who appear to be very different. Most of the time, we might be tempted to believe that the other person, whose reasoning and conclusions are different from yours, has a serious problem that would require professional help. However, you would be surprised to discover that the difference between you and other people's reasoning and way of thinking was the application of critical thinking and reasoning skills.

The comparison between the reasoning, conclusions, and decisions of an individual who is correctly applying the principles of critical thinking and one who is not could be as different as night and day. The interesting thing here is that one of the parties can be so offended at the other, yet that should never be the case.

The objective of writing this book is to help the reader to understand as much about critical thinking as possible and to apply the skills and reasoning in his or her everyday life. In an ideal world, if everyone were to apply these skills in every interaction, there would be very little to no wars and conflicts. Critical thinking helps people to analyze situations for what they truly are, and it also allows individuals to understand that it is possible to have opposing views and still be correct.
