Critical Thinking Introduction

During the Tradition Unit, we were given an assignment to write a paper about a modern innovation and how it had influenced or impacted a specific cultural tradition.  Due to this being our final paper, I wanted to make sure that I hit a home run.  I wanted to discuss a topic that I had a strong opinion about and that I could make a solid argument.  With the feedback and suggestions from Andrea and Lolly in papers 1 and 2, I was sure that I had a grip on creating a paper that proved an argument.  I chose to argue the negative aspects of texting and how it has harmed our cultural tradition.  I felt like I proved this by stating this, "While texting can be an easy and quick way to keep in touch and communicate with friends and family, it has created an atmosphere of laziness and a lack of personal interaction."  I felt like my paper supported my thesis and confirmed that I was able to analyze an issue.
