I enjoyed this Chapter and have learned a lot from it. I do agree that critical readying is now trying to down play or to diminish someones ideas but to better understand them. To understand why they say what they do, what was their past, who taught them this and how they came to certain conclusions.
I also agree that a lot of things that are written are opinions of others. I know from on my mission, many people would tell me many things that they believe, and they would state it as facts; whether they be little or big. I would see that they have some truth in what they would say, but in the end their conclusion did not make sense with what I had known. It still didn't make sense with what I had continued to learn even trying to see it from their point of view.
My favorite point that I saw in this chapter was "Approach Your Reading with a Reflective and Questioning Attitude" I believe that we should question everything, if we question everything then we will eventually find the truth, whether it be about a book, a writer, their motives, our motives as well that will help with self improvement and there are many questions we could ask.
There were many things that I liked from this chapter, from making sure that the source is good and reliable to reading Photos, this is a great chapter.
