¶ … Versus Ethics
Critical thinking is an acquired skill according to the Ellis (2015). Higher education promotes analysing abilities in students making them see different inferring techniques and how others deduce results and come to various conclusions, providing them with a basis on how to deal with tough personal and career related decision-making (p. 69).
Critical thinking involves the following aspects
