Critical thinkers avoid prejudice by evaluating outside evidence for accuracy and relevancy

and questioning their own views for errors in judgment. They understand that others have
opinions, but critical thinkers also know these opinions are not similarly valid. Some are
poorly thought out, have weak support, or are totally off base. Informed opinions are well
supported with thoughts, facts, illustrations, and personal experiences. Thinking critically is
what leads to an informed opinion (Taylor and Copeland 7).
