Synopsis: Success depends on the ability to think critically. Training and practice turn this ability into a powerful skill. This book gives students the opportunity to develop this skill in a classroom environment while stressing its application to daily life. Students learn to solve everyday problems, maintain successful relationships, make career choices, and interpret the messages of advertising in a variety of media. Exercises throughout the text encourage them to practice what they read and to apply it to their own lives. The book breaks up critical thinking into a series of cumulative activities, a unique approach that has made this text a staple of many critical thinking courses.
