Critical Thinking Bell Hooks :
The critical thinking article by Bell Hooks is an article that stresses the importance of developing a good thinking habit. Hooks states that when we are children that we are natural thinkers but as we grow up that society pounds that out of us by telling us what we should think. Both teachers and parents are responsible for teaching us that it is dangerous to think by encouraging the idea of conformity and obedience. Hooks ends this article by promoting the end of this method and insist that we need to start teaching the joy of thinking and challenge the way the world works by asking the Who, What, Where, Why, and How. This article was one of my favorites to read because I related to the idea of being taught the danger of thinking. Developing a critical thinking habit help me gain a better knowledge of future class assignments and really benefit my writing. The questions I often had were the same questions that other students had and when inserting these questions and ideas in my writing I found that it drew readers in and made them more engage in my writing.
