The need for critical thinking has never been more crucial than it is today. With a constant stream of content filtered by algorithms on our screens, it’s easy to become trapped in an ‘echo chamber.’ This occurs when our pre-existing beliefs are continually reinforced by selectively presented information, leaving little room for independent analysis, critical thinking, or growth.
