Critical thinking helps us look closely at important news from around the world. It pushes us to ask questions about where the information comes from, like:

• Spotting Bias: Figuring out if news organizations have a particular viewpoint.
• Checking Facts: Looking at several trustworthy sources to verify information.

For example, when we read a news story about a new government policy, critical thinking makes us wonder:

1. Who is telling this news?
2. What proof do they have for their points?
3. Are there other viewpoints to consider?

Using this method not only improves our understanding but also helps us have better conversations about global issues.
