Critical thinking is used everyday no matter what avenue is used. When using your critical thinking skills you are able to analysis without bias any form of information. When watching television you are able to analysis the information that is presented to you. Following that initial analysis you are able to go deeper into research with the ability to view more information on the internet. This process of analyzing and going deeper has been a basic concert of critical thinking. http://www.criticalthinking.org/starting/index.cfm . No matter if you are using tradition written media or you’re putting a modern twist with television and internet resources. You are able to use good information and dismiss the bad information.

Some might say that the information provided from non tradition resources (i.e. Television and internet) are unreliable and carry heavy editing from “ Gatekeeper”. I would disagree with that statement with the addition of the internet for information it allow a critical thinker the ability to view a more diverse aspect of information. More people are able to see different perspectives with and easy way to publish. Unlike in the past when you could only be published by a company that thought your book was capable of making money. You can now create a Bog page, Web page and even comment on others post. AAdding valuable information to create an atmosphere conducive to critical thinking.

I do not see our society any time in the future burning books. It is important to our culture to have this information and be able to reproduce that information for everyone to share. Book burning is commonly associated with an attempt at censorship of an author or gives topic. http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005852 . Censorship is a topic that is important to Americans in modern society. It is a sensitive subject. Some people allow censorship to help insure that content they receive in proper and appropriate for viewing. While other refuse censorship and want only the purest information presented to them. These individual fear the thin line between censoring content and “Gate keeping”.

Overall we must keep a balance between tradition information and modern information providers. No matter how your information is provide one must be able to analysis and good deeper into your research. The most important think to keep in mind is our Critical Thinking skills.
