In examining the barriers to critical thinking, one, in particular, stood out, emotional influences. Emotional influences can include anger, passion, and stress.

It does not matter what our occupation is or level of education may be those three things will all come into play in our lives at some time. How and why we use them may be different from how the next person may use it. How I think through a problem will be different from the person sitting next to me. Just because we think different from each other does not mean either one is wrong.…
Allow me to explain. In the beginning of my essay, I discussed how healing occurs through writing (Nash's point).
