C5- Assumptions

An assumption is something we accept as being true without sufficient proof. Assuming something can often lead to problems. We can all learn from wrong assumptions, this makes us stronger critical thinkers. Unconscious and unwarranted assumptions can cause errors in our reasoning. On the other hand, conscious and warranted assumptions can be helpful for solving any situation. Therefore, it is important that we learn to recognize the difference. We must not fall easily into assumptions, but we shoud look for assumptions when trying to find a solution.
