Critical Thinking and Media Literacy

Every day, we are exposed to thousands of messages through social networks, media and digital platforms. Faced with this scenario, critical thinking and media literacy become essential tools to navigate the world with judgment and responsibility.

What is critical thinking?

It is the ability to analyze, evaluate and question information in a logical and well-founded manner. Critical thinking is not based on blind belief, but on understanding, contrasting and deciding with arguments.

What is media literacy?

It is the ability to access, analyze, evaluate, create and act using different types of media. It involves understanding how media messages are constructed, what interests may be behind them and how they influence our perception of reality.

In a world where everyone can publish, but not everyone verifies, thinking critically and understanding the media is more than a skill: it is a necessity.
