      How do you analyze and understand the way the world operates, what drives conflict, what causes change?

        depends. I try to avoid religious beliefs and other bad ways of knowing

              "Critical thinking" is not a framework. It needs rules, guidelines, to mean anything. Maybe a question will help:
