Which of the following statement(s) is/are example(s) of the type of critical thinking needed for citizens in a democracy:

The correct answers are A) Different people have different views, but even experts can be wrong which is why we need to find many different sources of information before making a political decision. D) The experts are generally correct, but we should look for multiple different sources of information before concluding.

The other options of the question were B) Many people have ulterior motives so their recommendations need to be taken with skepticism. Experts are sometimes wrong and the people we trust might be biased. Therefore, we need to utilize many different sources of information before making political decisions. And C) If an individual in a position of authority (e.g., police officer; teacher; member of the clergy) says something, it is my duty to obey and to believe what they say.

In a democracy, people need to use critical thinking to understand the many different political ideas and proposals from candidates and political parties during a campaign. Citizens deserve to know the truth, and if politicians are not saying the truth, people can think by themselves, consider the option of experts, analysts, media hosts, and journalists, but in the end, it is the citizens who have the last word.

So yes, the statements that are examples of the type of critical thinking needed for citizens in a democracy are the following: Different people have different views, but even experts can be wrong which is why we need to find many different sources of information before making a political decision. And, the experts are generally correct, but we should look for multiple different sources of information before concluding.
