How many people think North Korea is a bad country? How many people think China is an enemy country which is challenging the United States? How many American people support the opinion about “free Tibet”? Answer is a lot of American people. Do they really know these countries? Or they really know other countries’ issues? The answer is no. Some people who say everybody should support Tibet of freedom don’t know where Tibet is at all. These sounds fanny, but it really reflects power of media, so having critical thinking is very important.
People watch TV and get online every day, so media’s opinions lead or change the public. Most people strongly believe that, and they always loose critical thinking of news. How many people think CNN has strong bias of news? A lot of people just follow and believe what mass media want them to believe. For example, Chinese “birth control”, many American people argue that, but they don’t know if China doesn’t do that, and many live people will die by hanger. it is a challenge for human rights, but if people died, where and how people can have human rights.
Critical thinking is important because people should correctly think and believe what they get information.
