only answer to a event.
Validity is a quality of being used to support an
argument. It is measured with certainty.
Critical thinkers use validity to make decisions,
not truth. Means they don’t rely on truth. It is
based on reasonable positions.

11. THRESHOLD
Threshold is validity on the continuous of certainty that
speaks out to describe before someone will commit to a
decision.
Most people have a threshold with respect that is to a
particular point of view.
• No two people have the same threshold on a same matter.
• A person’s threshold can change over the period.
• On some topics, people may not have thresholds that can
be reached.
• It varies depending on the matter.
• Threshold are effected by psychological and physiological
settings. Example, buying a expensive car your threshold
to buying a lowered priced when you bought the car for
$30,000.
•Threshold can be lowered. Creating the right kind of
argument can soften or lower the threshold of an
audience.
