题目： People who are the most deeply committed to an idea or policy are also the most critical of it. 对于一种想法或者政策最忠实的人往往是那些对其最严厉的人。 Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.
Will people become more and more critical of an idea or policy once they are more commited to them? Although it is true that when we focus on certain idea, the propensity for perfection make us more critical, whether we would become critical or not depends on several factors which the speaker fails to claim.
It is true that when getting more familiar with a idea or policy, we may find something short or even fault in our concentration. As human are mostly prefer perfect things, including ideas and policies, uncomfortable feels rise to us when we fail to refine such ideas. Thus we become critical. Further more, familiar enough if we get toward certain idea or policy, the rationale or princinple behind things would expose to us. So, we may think of whether such principle could be used for another issues. Thusly we cultivate critical thoughts.
However, we should not lose the fact that some persons may be self-content once they get familiar with a idea. Considering that critical thinking is the willingness to refine or thinks from another aspect, we can easily find that we may become self-content and lose the willingness to dig into deeper, let alone to refine. ALso,some people may be distracted from a exhaustive idea or policy to new ones. The only reason is the greed for knowledge rooted in human nature which is like propensity for food. People would become tired with the same food that they have for lunch everyday because they knows their taste, their balm and even their appearance. Becoming tired for the constant diet lead people to new kinds of foods.
In addition, people would be critical enough even if they are not familiar with an idea or policy. As we all know, none of the ideas or policy is perfect and without faults. People perspicatious enough would easily find imperfect points in these ideas and the persue for perfections drives them to explore ways to refine them. Additionaly, people may be more critical of some ideas just because they are unfamiliar with them. Because unfamilar with the principle or rationale of a certain conclusion, people curious enough would explore them with knowledge in the scope of their own or in easier ways. In this place, exhaustive comprehension seems like shackles for critical thinking. For instance, Fleming, the discover of penicillin, once were curious but unfamiliar with the mold which destroys the bacteria in his culture plate then explore this mold which lead to his success.
To sum up, although sometimes critical if people are deeply commited to an idea or policy, mostly people fails to cultivate critical thinking because of distraction to another idea once they become familiar. Furthermore, people without familiar knowing about a idea would also become critical.
