It's depressing that educational standards are so low (particularly in "western" nations) that so many people lack any kind of critical thinking skills.[/color][/size][/b]
These days, they are even taught not to have any.
In one place where I use to live you were even lucky if you were taught how to read and write properly at all let alone think.
They'd put everything down to this natural "ability"/"teaching by ability"/"natural selection" thing and then write you off if you failed at something as an excuse not to teach properly (very lazy). I remembered some didn't even know or understand the subjects they were teaching themselves as they were just assistants. Many refused/couldn't answer questions and they went by this instructional paper a bit like a flow diagram. You did what it told them which was just copying stuff no explanation, reasoning or understanding. It was a bit like a circus going around circles where it wasn't helping. They were teaching without understanding where I didn't understand it myself and was failing. They told me just remember it for the exam so one day after that I refused to go to certain subjects with teachers that did this sort of thing and and went in search for things that will help me properly.
Here's a
critical thinking one I came across:
I was once put to work at this charity. They didn't want me there at first and I didn't want to go there. They were in agreement that wasn't the right place for the things I wanted to do. There was nothing of any interest to me but it was pre-arranged and the rules at the time forced me to go and they had to accept me as part of a government work program. They were packing sweets. They brought large amount of sweets and got the volunteers to arrange them in this fancy order in open box stands with different heights for every row and delivered to clients that wanted it. They'd take a basket, pickup the sweets across the room but what they were doing were picking up a few and they spent like 2 hours running around the room packing about 40 sweets in one box for something that should only take less than 5-10 minutes if not in a rush.
One day hardly any volunteers turned up so they gave me many of their boxes to pack saying it will take me all day. I was explaining, look I am going to decide where the sweets are going to go in the first box and that will go for the rest as usual with 2 - 3 that I normal do. I'll take the Mars bars box form over there, walk and around and put them in certain places in every box and do the same with the next sweet box. It's not hard... 20 - 30 minutes later finished and with the paper work which were all the same.
Later on they said to me we can't allow you to keep on working like that.
I said why not? You wanted it finished and it's finished.
They said, if everybody worked like that then there wouldn't be any work left for us to give.
Anyway I worked in the way I wanted where I know am less likely to make mistakes and just wandered around after looking for things to do.
Not going to burn myself out working in ways that makes the really easy things appear difficult, slow, inefficient and time consuming.

I was wondering why there were not many thumbs down.
Maybe the viewers knew it is nonsense as the channel owner admitted here in one of their other videos:
