Critical Analysis

The article, “Sweet and s?ur served by kids in the kitchen”, written by Tim S?utph?mmasane, published in the Inquirer secti?n ?f The Weekend Australian newspaper ?n the 4-5th December 2010 gave a rather negative pessimistic view ?n 2010's Australia's m?st watched sh?w, Juni?r MasterChef. In this article, he f?rwards a questi?n t? the reader by asking “Sh?uld we reassess the way we value children's inn?cence?” S?utph?mmasane is a p?litical phil?s?pher and j?urnalist, wh? have a small r?le in “Ask the Phil?s?pher” c?lumn ?f The Weekend Australian.
