Five elements of critical thinking are identifying the problem, research, identifying biases, inferences, and determining relevance (Erstad, 2018). During critical thinking, whenever a topic is chosen, the identification of the issue is crucial (Erstad, 2018). One needs to decide the problem that one wants to deal with.
