1. Essay on Critical Thinking
The concepts of critical thinking and creative thinking are both gaining increasing importance in
the world today. Critical thinking allows people to understand difficult concepts in a manner that is
clearer and more defined. They can more readily understand those concepts if they employ critical
thinking. In all portions of everyday life, a person is expected to make independent judgments.
Those judgments are based on experience and knowledge. Without the ability to think critically,
every situation that a person comes across would have to be considered in isolation from all other
situations. When a person encounters a problem that is a new one, he or she may be able to use
critical thinking to solve those problems. One...show more content...
Critical thinking also helps in decision–making. Both problem solving and decision–making abilities
are vital to a prosperous business. Persons who are critical thinkers can make a difference in the
companies in which they are employed. Today?s corporations must first recognize that there is a real
need for critical thinkers. It is important for both the top management down the line. Critical thinking
must be taught and built in to the way the company or organization performs its business. In fact,
companies and organizations must embrace the concept of critical thinking. Critical thinking can
lead to success story after success story. This type of impact gives any company or organization
credibility. According to Supon, one of the fundamental purposes of teaching critical thinking is to
enhance the abilities of students to become critical thinkers. Corporate leaders, educational
researchers, employers, and parents have continually pushed teachers to assist their students in the
development of critical thinking ability. Critical thinking is a skill that ?involved not only
knowledge of content by also concept formation and analysis, reasoning and drawing conclusions,
recognizing and avoiding contradiction, and other essential cognitive activities? (Supon, 1998).
There are proposed reasons for the emphasis that is currently on critical thinking. Many factors can
be related to this emphasis. They include the societal factors of economic shifts

2. Essay on Criticism
Criticism
Criticism can be negative or positive; the way it is said may be good or bad. Why do most of us
want to avoid giving or receiving criticism? The purpose of criticism is to encourage positive
outcomes (what the giver wants). Ideally, it brings balance into our lives, provides us with a basis of
comparison, and brings truth, honesty, and intimacy. Hopefully, it gives us honest feedback–a
balance of praise and criticism. Do most of us want to know how we are doing?
Why do successful business people actually seek out criticism from people they respect? Why do
people feel they are unfairly criticized? Are tone of voice, choice of words important? What

Know ones skill and weaknesses; ones successes and failures. How does one know when one is
doing a good job? Need to have a "feel" so we are not caught off guard. Need to learn to take
criticism on the job professionally, and emotion (breathe deeply and slowly). Try to remain
impartial. Ask yourself is the criticism is valid. What can we learn?
Other factors that color criticism: 1) relationship with the giver of criticism (friends give advice).
Why do we resent criticism from in–laws, parents and spouses more than bosses do? 2) Choice of
words–how it is given. "I can't believe you would do such a stupid thing." What words make you
angry, loud, etc? 3) Style of delivery, sacristy, fast and angry, loud, etc. 4) Timing, and public or
private. 5) Other types: beyond your control, aimed at your gender, size, heritage, appearance, etc
QUESTIONS: How good are you at staying cool under criticism? (Knots in stomach, anger, etc).
How well do you listen when you are criticized? (Rephrase so that you really understand what he
/she is saying). How effectively can you organize your thoughts to answer (if you think you
should)? How well do we put the criticism in perspective (not life threatening)? Do we brood on it
for weeks, months?

3. Critical Analysis Essay example
Leah Baker English Comp 1210 Critical Analysis September 28, 2011 Critical Analysis of an
Ineffective Essay Author, Harriet Davids, of "The Extended School Day" believes all elementary
schools should adopt an extended school day policy. Davids main ideas focus on the safety of the
children, whether it be in the care of a nanny or home alone, safety is the number one priority.
Davids not only states that an extended school day will be beneficial to the parents and the students,
but also the teachers and staff involved in the after school programs. In an affective essay there are
seven essential elements that must be followed to skillfully create a forceful essay. Unfortunately,
Davids lacks many of these elements in the entitled...show more content...
Adding a sentence such as that connects the paragraphs creating much needed flow. Unfortunately
unity and coherence aren't the only elements wrong with Davids' sentences. One of the most
important components of an effective essay is effective sentences. Effective sentences are
defined as complete thoughts. They should not consist of run on or incomplete sentences, poor
grammar or incomplete thoughts. Effective sentences allow the reader to focus on the essay topic
and understand the point of view instead of getting lost in the long sentences. Davids makes
many careless errors when developing her sentences, many of them being fragments. As an
author, Davids should automatically know not to start a new sentence with and, which she does
several times throughout. Instead of using 'and' Davids could have created compound sentences.
Davids word choice also takes a toile on the effectiveness of the essay. Using words such as 'they'
repeatedly (in paragraph two) makes for a chaotic ineffective essay. Finally, a conclusion
paragraphs function is to summarize the main points of the essay. Davids, instead, chooses this
time to add another point to her persuasion, talking about the great expenses of an extended school
day. She chose not to summarize the original ideas what so ever, leaving the reader only to guess
that the essay was over. If it wasn't for the fact that it was the last paragraph published, the reader
would have never been able to label it as the
