What is an argument?
The course Critical Thinking - Foundamentals of Good Reasoning defines arguments as a collections of declarations that may be true or false, one of which is the conclusion that is derived by other arguments called premises.
For example a conclusion can be: Regular exercise promotes physical health
The premises that support this conclusion can be:
- Regular exercise increases cardiovascular fitness
- Regular exercise strengthens muscles and bones
- *Regular exercise improves mental health by reducing stress and anxiety
- *High cardiovascular fitness, strong muscles and bones and low level of stress and anxiety promote physical health.

Why asking questions is important?
I believe that asking questions is important in almost every field because it helps to:
- find the reasons and the premises about one argument. This allow to understand better a concept.
- question if an argument is true or false. This allow to understand if a conclusion is true or false.
- analyse risks.
- solve problems.
- promote creativity.
- acquire new information about something we need to understand better.
However it is important not only to ask questions but ask questions and continuously search the best answers to that questions.
