Becoming a Critical Thinker

By: Sherry Diestler,Colleen Mahy

Becoming a Critical Thinker aims to clarify critical thinking, not simplify it. The text trains students to distinguish high-quality, well-supported arguments from arguments with little or no evidence to support them. Its popular tone and clarity of approach has long made this text a favourite for critical thinking courses. This new Canadian edition includes coverage of topics such as socialized healthcare, Bisphenol A, pet food recall, regionalism, immigrant employability, and Afro-centric schools. It features a new Global Village feature, an updated design, and pieces by Lester B. Pearson, Russell Smith, and Stephen Harper.
