Abstract
This paper explains how to recognize and steer clear of numerous common logical fallacies, ranging from ad hominem arguments to wishful thinking, that can damage an argument. Critical thinking is essential in the digital age, where we must question false or flawed claims. It helps us base our decisions on facts and evidence, not feelings or fallacious reasoning. Unfortunately, many employers struggle to find workers with this skill. To develop it, one must learn how to understand and evaluate the essence of an argument.
