Why look for depth in ideas?

Where is the problem of free thinking and expressing opinion in a safe manner without hesitation, and then transforming thinking about the life issues that people live and the life problems they face from the traditional or emotional way, to another way of thinking that depends on self-criticism and objectivity? How can we educate the critical mind of our current generations in a way that is far from subjectivity, fanaticism, puritanism, and convulsions?

It is not a luxury or a desire to change or in line with others. It is true that free thinking and a critical mind are an indicator of the development of society with all mechanisms of work, education, dealings, study curricula, methods of education and ..., but the matter is more than just proving that we are changing to keep pace with others. The issue lies in Conviction and belief that this is the only way towards intellectually advanced societies, safe from extremism, confusion and wasting time in search of meaning! Where it makes no sense for any society that does not know how to respect freedoms.

We always compare ourselves in the field of scientific, literary, cultural and artistic excellence. They did not achieve this superiority except by approving freedoms as a main clause in every field, starting with the family, raising the child, and the student in school, even the practices of other institutions in the state, and without the release of freedoms, the mind would not have been launched. And the mind will see what others do not see!

It is said: “Only those who have drowned enough, talk about things in a clear depth.” Therefore, only those who have experienced authoritarianism and backwardness due to the lack of freedoms cling to it as the only way to change and find critical and thinking minds in a way that opens to the world as a sky with no sides!

Depth Thinking

The critical approach needs open minds that are willing to criticize, examine, sifter, and judge everything. Therefore, this approach prevailed in the West in the wake of the Renaissance, the Enlightenment era, geographical discoveries, and the disengagement between the church and society, meaning that the approach of criticism, deconstruction and reconstruction is an integrated context that needed a historical context that came As a result of a tremendous social development that included everything in Europe and the West in general, the matter does not happen by imitation, but by working to develop the conditions that generate that civilized state and not obstruct it!

A friend from the cultural milieu told me, in a question similar to a test or an invitation to see the idea of ​​virtual criticism, and because I have nothing to do with criticism and its tools, and I am not very familiar with an idea that seems to me that it needs a specialist or an intellectual, who has a long history of working on academic work and criticism, and since I I am not one of the literary brothers who have experiences in the field of literary criticism, but it is also okay to discuss together we who are interested in culture, reading and knowledge.

Despite the major flaws in the subject of dialogues, opinions and actions presented through social media, which may sometimes be a compilation and combinations from the Internet, rather borrowing and taking opinions and ideas from others, and attributing them to that person who collects his ideas from East and West, and presents them as he is Owner and author!!

As for the one who has the ability to work and be creative, and to make real literary ideas, he must put them on paper, and have the ability to defend them. According to the time, and that the writer's name is clear and fixed, the default text is an idea and a point of view in moving the consonant, and we have to engage in dialogue.
