The Elements Of Reasoning And Intellectual Standards Critical Thinking Examples

I have explained how the Elements of reasoning and intellectual standards have guided the author in explaining his views and opinions in the article.

Clarity

Clarity is prevalent throughout the article. The author makes everything clear since who explains why banks might refuse to take your money by denying you the right to open an account. The article describes reasons behinds this giving relevant examples that makes the reader understand the article.

Accuracy

Precision
In my view, I think that the article was not precise. The author does not seem to be more specific with the details that he talks about. He gives very accurate information but he doesn’t go further to explain the specific reason and the events that take place in the banking sector. The article is clear and accurate but it is not precise.

Relevance

The element of relevance is also applied in the article. The issue of why people can be denied the right to open account connects with the reasons that are explained. The writer goes further to explain how the Chex Systems and the early warning services detect the fraudsters in banking therefore blacklisting them. In my view, relevance has helped the author to remain clear and precise.

Depth

In my opinion, the article lacks the aspect of depth. I do not think that the author clearly explains the complexities that revolve within the reasons that he explains. He seems not to deal with the most significant factors.

Logic

The ideas in the article and the way they are explained create logic. The explanation makes sense and the author must have combined his thoughts to make everything looks so logical.

Fairness

I also have a feeling that the article is neither biased nor is it affected by the authors’ perspectives. I believe that there is no information that has been distorted so that the author can explain the articles’ interests.
