Critical Thinking and Media Literacy 

Critical thinking and media literacy are fundamental skills in today's world, where we are constantly bombarded with information from different sources and media. 

Critical thinking involves questioning, analysing and reflexively evaluating the information we receive. It allows us not to accept everything that is presented to us passively, but to examine it, contrast it with other sources and consider different perspectives before forming our opinion. Critical thinking helps us to develop stronger discernment and to avoid falling into the trap of misinformation or fake news.

Media literacy, on the other hand, refers to the ability to understand, analyse and use the media effectively. This implies having the skills to interpret and evaluate various types of media, such as news, advertising, social media, among others. A media-literate person is able to identify biases, manipulations and distortions of information, as well as to use media ethically and responsibly.

These skills are essential in the digital world, where information spreads quickly and it can be difficult to distinguish between facts and opinions. Strengthening critical thinking and media literacy helps us to make informed decisions, to be aware of dominant discourses and to be more active and responsible citizens.
