4. Make a list of the 5 fundamental principles of promoting critical thinking.
To make basic questions,
Let your mind ask questions continuously,
Evaluate the subject,
Make opposite questions (X causes Y: change to Y causes X),
Analyse the subject.
Sometimes my basic questions seem funny, however, could help me to go forward. Then, we have our own questions which are not similar to others necessarily.
That is completely true. The very process of posing questions, especially to ourselves, can open up our eyes and minds to the problems. When the why of the problems and issues is solved, the how of them would definitely become a lot easier for us, and question development can serve us tremendously in this response.

2. What are the advantages of critical thinking?
Based on my experience, critical thinking gives us an opportunity to have a notebook of ideas, and to make brainstorming as well.
Absolutely! Brainstorming is actually one of the precious byproducts of practicing critical thinking.
1. How can we formulate our questions?
Formulating critical questions through critical thinking involves breaking down complex issues and examining them from multiple angles. Start by identifying the core components of the topic and asking open-ended questions that encourage deeper exploration, such as “Why is this important?” or “What are the underlying assumptions?” Focus on seeking clarity and understanding the connections between ideas. Evaluate evidence and consider the implications of different perspectives. By systematically questioning and reflecting, you can develop insightful and meaningful questions that drive critical analysis and informed decision-making.
