Judge For Yourself, Take Your Own Stand

What is "critical analysis"? Ask the question to ten different people and you may receive ten different answers. It is one of those concepts that retains elusive qualities: similar to the often mysterious and ever so present "They". The need for constant critical analysis has never been so pronounced as it is in the 21st century. The explosion of innovative communication technologies and the advent of intelligent machines of our creation have fundamentally changed the world as humanity has traditionally viewed it. This concise book explores the concept of critical analysis by evaluating five areas: perspective, bias, correlation, moral influence, and the equilibrium of liberty, altruism, and justice. The book focuses on the definition, application, and context of terms and concepts that emerge as barriers to understanding in everyday life. The reader gains new abilities for understanding which could allow a person to quantify the qualification of their judgment in any given scenario. Ultimately, a reliance on "gut instinct" is decreased while repeatability and dependability of judgment is increased. The conciseness of the text means that a person can reread the book as often as necessary to reinforce the concepts and strengthen one's capacity for critical analysis.
