Purpose: A critical analysis essay examines the strength of an author’s argument by identifying both its assumptions as well as its implications through an incisive analysis of the original text. When writing a critical analysis essay, the words and ideas used by the author must be cited, paraphrased, and sourced appropriately both to attribute ownership of the ideas and to highlight their relevance to the argument.
Task: Write a five-page critical analysis of Freire’s essay “The Banking Concept of Education” with reference to the theme, Humanism in an Era of Disruptive Innovation.
