How can critical thinking be useful in Pakistan?

After completing the critical thinking's course I asked myself that out of what I've learnt, how can i apply it to make a country a better place. Pakistan is one country where decisions are mostly made in a very haphazard way. People are oblivious to things that matter and make decisions without reasoning basing the decision on what they feel is right and justify this method of decision making by saying it saves time and money.
However, if decisions were taken critically with all outcomes analyzed and carefully separating what we feel from reasoning and made decisions based on this sound reasoning, there would be a higher chance of reaching the best possible outcome which would benefit the society and our nation as a whole rather than just a few individuals like it has been happening here for so many years now.

Our country badly needs critical thinking for it will be a great asset in times of need for instance, in this current flood disaster many stupid illogical decisions were made like the one where they saved the town where Benazir is buried but destroyed many others in the process destroying countless houses, crops and cattle. Had they thought this through they would’ve taken a decision which would benefit the masses instead of a just one person who by the way is already dead. Infact, come to think of it Benazir was said to be the leader who would sacrifice herself for our nation and in a way she did that only, so would she really approve of this action taken by our leaders. Also, as shown by our media, people in the flood relief camps are wasting food like anything. Now they should realize that this food is being donated so that they may survive and instead of being greedy they should be thankful of whatever they are getting.

Another case where critical thinking would have been a much better way coming up with a solution was when our prime minister Gillani decided to export wheat to Afghanistan to earn short term revenues. However, he did not think this through and as a result there was a serious shortage of wheat in our own country leading to higher prices and the poor not being able to afford wheat which is a huge part of their diet. So for a little profit he put so many people through a very hard time.

So to sum up, if people here practice critical thinking and made sound decisions that were backed by proper reasoning our country would be in a much better state with a better tomorrow for everyone and maybe just maybe we wouldn’t have been bankrupt and called corrupt, terrorists and God knows what not. We might not have been a third world country if decisions were always taken this way and who knows if we start making decisions the critical thinking way we soon might not. That is how important critical thinking is for our nation
