(OCP)
TS. DR. VICNEAS MUNIADY
 Question 1 (20%)
a) You are required to discuss the following topics in the myINSPIRE forum. Select FIVE (5) of your
BEST posts and include them in your assignment for submission.

Discuss "The Importance of Critical Thinking in the 21st Century". This topic is particularly relevant as we live in an
age of information overload, where it's easy to be misled by fake news or biased opinions. Critical thinking skills
are essential for evaluating information, making sound decisions, and solving complex problems. The forum
could discuss strategies for developing critical thinking skills, including analysing arguments, identifying logical
fallacies, and questioning assumptions. Participants could also share real-world examples of how critical thinking
has helped them succeed in their personal or professional lives.
Bincangkan topik ini, "Kepentingan Pemikiran Kritis pada Abad ke-21". Topik ini amat relevan kerana kita hidup dalam zaman yang penuh dengan
maklumat, di mana mudah untuk dikelirukan oleh berita palsu atau pendapat berat sebelah. Kemahiran berfikir secara kritis adalah penting untuk
menilai maklumat, membuat keputusan yang baik, dan menyelesaikan masalah yang kompleks. Gunakan platform forum ini untuk
membincangkan strategi untuk membangunkan kemahiran berfikir kritis, termasuk menganalisis hujah, mengenal pasti kesilapan logik, dan
mempersoalkan andaian. Pelajar-pelajar juga boleh berkongsi contoh yang sebenar tentang bagaimana pemikiran kritis telah membantu mereka
berjaya dalam kehidupan peribadi atau profesional mereka.
