Standardisation and Evaluation of Argument for Critical Thinking
Introduction
This essay is based on critical evaluation and standardisation of three articles “A few surprises in the list of the hip and happening” by Toby Johnstone, “Political tweeters may troll too close to home” by Lenore Taylor and “Katter's party outpolls Greens, survey finds” by Tony Moore along with an essay evaluation on “Philosophy of Life”. This essay is based on how we can use critical thinking in identifying the author's aim and objective behind writing an article or an essay. Critical thinking is an art that can help an individual in providing evaluation and justification to the selected issue as it helps in deciding what to do or what to believe in. Critical thinking helps in making the right judgement and form a firm belief.

Standardisation
The arguments that can be taken from this article as listed below:
1. In almost all the suburbs of Australia more than 56% of people who are living are on rent.

For an argument 3: As most of the university students are living in these suburbs therefore the environment of these areas are more based on creativity and they have emotional attachment and strong relationships among them that they cannot pass on without saying ...
