Document Summary
We can read that man reached the moon or that he never did, observe the report of the results of a scientific experiment, or we can see on television what we believe may be a massive demonstration. Today we have to be able to doubt everything, reflecting and evaluating what we perceive and / or what it communicates to us. That is why we can ask ourselves about the ability to carry out this screening. We apply critical thinking to try to discern reality from what they tell us and perceive from the analysis of the reasoning used to explain it. In a way analogous to what descartes proposed, it is a question of doubting the information, dogmas and absolute axioms that surround us until we can give them truthfulness or on the contrary ignore them. With this, it seeks to have a justified idea of reality and not blindly accept what others tell us.
