Intellectual character
Overview

Critical thinking and reflection keep us honest with ourselves and one another. They help us acknowledge and resist bias, pursue truth, and distinguish fact from opinion. When we take the time to explore the systems at play, we become more aware of how every decision we make, and action we take, has a larger impact on society.
