    The document discusses the concept of frame of reference and how it can limit critical thinking. A person's frame of reference is shaped by their background, experiences, culture, education and media consumption. It influences how they perceive and make judgements about the world. Having a limited frame of reference means only considering a small part of the available information and perspectives before making a decision. To overcome this barrier to critical thinking, the document recommends continually expanding one's knowledge through curiosity, understanding other viewpoints, and recognizing that no individual knows everything.
