Both authors believe that thinking critically before doing the work will lead people to be successful. Graff states, “… how to make arguments, weigh different types of evidence, move between particulars and generalizations, summarize the opinions of others, and start a conversation about ideas” (383). The author tries to proclaim that to be a critical thinker, we should be able to get all the information and analyze it very carefully. We should be able to understand what is right and what is wrong. Doing nothing will not make us critical thinkers, but thinking deeply and identifying options will make us critical thinkers. Furthermore, Gldwell also argues Graff that, to be a critical thinker, we must be able to find the most promising way to resolve dangerous situations. Graff states, “But if you think there are still lunch counters out there that need to be integrated, you should give yourself some thought” (327). The author tried to suggest that we need to think about every aspect and try to find the best possible solution to a problem.

This can be used as an example of critical thinking, because the four students denied leaving and decided to start a protest and later many people supported them. If they couldn't think critically, they wouldn't have come up with the plan or maybe they could have just left the lunch counter. Both authors Gladwell and Graff believe that we must analyze things carefully to be critical
