Critical Thinking and Language
by Osman Parvez
Maybe this is a little off topic, but I’m always trying to improve this blog and I’d like to share some ideas. For me, blogging is about trying to look at things in an interesting way, sharing information, and learning to write more effectively.
Today I read an interesting article from Roy Peter Clark (a repeat guest on the Oprah Winfrey show). It stems from a discussion on truth telling in America, helping citizens to be smarter about how to interpret messages encountered every day in government, in media, in the workplace, in business and advertising. Clark’s article is about how to get actively involved in your community and how to think critically (which leads to better journalism/blogging).
It includes a link to George Orwell’s essay on Politics and the English Language. I hadn’t read the Orwell essay before and was very impressed. I’m studying it as a guide for better writing.
The Poynter Institute website is filled resources for becoming a better writer. If you’re a blogger, I recommend bookmarking it.

Testimonials
Osman was a refreshingly honest realtor. He stressed through the entire process that his goal was to make me happy with my home purchase. I greatly appreciated the fact that he never shied away from pointing out the negatives as well as the pluses of different places while leaving the final decision up to me.
We can highly recommend Sophie. Her attention to detail and communication skills are great. Our home was in area that most realtors are not familiar with, but Sophie took extra time to get to know the neighborhood in order to give us quality service. She also brought in a professional photographer to make our home look its best. Even though the listing was in winter, the house sold quickly. With Sophie’s business and people skills, we have no doubt she will be a top realtor in the area.
