Every day we are bombarded with information from every corner of the internet — social media, news outlets, blogs, and online forums. It’s easy to get lost in a sea of opinions, rumors, and half-truths. That’s why developing critical thinking skills has become more important than ever. Without them, we’re vulnerable to misinformation that spreads quickly and looks convincing on the surface.
