Von der hinteren Coverseite
The ability to distinguish high quality, well-supported arguments from those that are ineffectual and ill-founded is a vital skill that can be learned, and the production of persuasive pieces of writing and speeches will be improved with practice. Becoming a Critical Thinker is a straightforward and user-friendly text that successfully combines exposure to the basic principles of logic, rhetoric, and argumentation with interesting material that is interdisciplinary in scope.
This Canadian Edition contains many articles, examples and references that reflect our Canadian society, including key thinkers, writers and broadcast media and their views on important current domestic issues such as Aboriginal peoples, free speech and censorship, multiculturalism, and urban development. International concerns have a place too. The new Global Village boxes in each chapter explore topics such as AIDS; microcredit; breast-feeding and IQ; Afghanistan; illegal Immigration; and French language laws.
Canadian students will certainly benefit from exposure to models that are relevant, educational, provocative, and in some cases inspirational.
