The role it has, is the simple fact that without a life long of learning and critical thinking we would be unable to decipher what a written symbol was "symbolic" for. It is through our critical thinking that we have learned such things as the person "walking" lit up white on the cross walk, means we can cross the street and the orange guy standing means dont walk. It is also a directive to the men and women's restroom as well as no u-turns, no left turns on red. etc.
If by critical thinking you mean rational thinking, then illogical thinking is it's opposite and excludes it of necessity. If instead you simply mean "thinking that is effective", then illogical thinking interferes only insofar as rational thinking is effective. Our society holds up rational analysis as an ideal, but in some situations intuitive, seemingly illogical thought produces better results. Critical thinking is sequential. Each stage or step of the thought process must be analyzed and found to be correct before moving on to the next step and the next step. And so on toward a purposeful end. This is a structured process. For example: "If A then B, if B then C, if C then D." If each step is reasoned and correct then also: "if A then D follows." Illogical thinking would interfere with the sequence somewhere, interfering and breaking the chain. For example: "If A then B, if B then K, if C then D." There's no link from B to C, interfering with the sequence.

The phrase "If that happened to me, what would I do?" is an example of a hypothetical question. It encourages the respondent to consider a scenario and reflect on their potential reactions or decisions in that situation. This type of question often stimulates critical thinking and personal insight.
One example of critical thinking is evaluating multiple sources of information before making a decision. By critically analyzing the credibility and reliability of sources, you can make informed choices that lead to better outcomes in both personal and professional aspects of your life.

You can apply critical thinking to everything in daily life, but when the need comes around to use this tool effectively, it can be a good asset in evaluating articles, advertising, media, and conversation. I would use critical thinking in articles to determine if the source is creditable, assess the article for bias information, and look to see if the article is relevant for the purpose, like scholarly applications. Advertising; critical thinking can be use to see if the advertising company has a valid or sound claim, evaluate to see if they are using persuasive rhetoric devices in order to influence us to buy something or to see if the information is logical. In media, you can use critical thinking to see if the source is creditable, find out if they are using any rhetorical devices like "Apple polishing", look for bias language, and look to see if they have a valid argument with supporting details. Conversations you can use critical thinking here by reading between the lines, also looking for consistency and listen to see if the speakers tone has change in what is said, and to see if any rhetoric's are used.
ADD affects attention span, not reasoning. Critical thinking would not be reduced.
An example of critical thinking would be if your car wouldn't start and you asked "What could be wrong?" and tried different things to see if you could fix the problem. Or if you wanted to earn money to buy a new iPad and you asked "How can I earn money?" and brainstormed different ways to do that.
Critical thinking is the answer. We would also accept skeptical thinking. Science involves 3 things. Making a testable hypothesis, testing it, and evaluating it. Any time you can do those three things in a repeatable fashion (ie I can tell you how to do what I did and it works for you too) you have 'done true science'. False science provides an un-testable hypothesis, then tries to 'prove' it using misdirection, insinuation, or bad testing procedures.
Critical thinking is the ability to objectively analyze and evaluate information to form well-considered judgments or decisions. It involves being open-minded, skeptical, and willing to question assumptions. Critical thinkers are adept at reasoning, problem-solving, and forming sound arguments.
'Does your argument make sense' is a question one would ask oneself during the process of evaluating and refining their own thoughts and ideas. It prompts reflection on the logical coherence and persuasiveness of one's argument.
Applying Critical Thinking! What a wonderful thing that we humans have the capacity to apply critical thinking when we make choices. And what a shame that we so rarely use our capacity to make good choices. Is it because the advertizing media is so convincing? Is it because we are lazy? Or is it because critical thinking is such a complicated undertaking? I would think it is all three. We do not apply our thinking because it is easier to follow someone else's decision. For thinking takes effort. Logical thinking, evaluating the pros and cons when making a decision, is both a complicated and lengthy effort. It implies that we have to separate the choices we make from our personal predilection and, by weighing the pros and cons, must base them solely on the predictable or hoped-for outcome. For example when we buy a car, we should make a decision based on price (not payments), on fuel ecomomy in the city (we seldom use it exclusively on highways), and size (we do not need an SUV when we are a two-person family). There are probably more considerations that I have not touched on. I will usually suggest that you apply critical thinking to any major purchase like a car or a home. As far as conversations are concerned, if you are with friends, mistakes bear few consequences, especially if you are among friends who will correct your thinking without being demeaning.
