  1. KANG, Minjin

    Thank you for the video.

    I realized that in my daily life, I often go through routine tasks without thinking critically.

    In fact, critical thinking can be applied not only when learning or gathering information but also in our everyday lives.
    Especially when it comes to making important decisions, as mentioned in the video, it’s crucial to carefully assess the credibility and logic of the information.

    I appreciate the valuable insights shared in the video. Thank you again!
