write a short essay on the peter ellerton's account of critical thinking
Peter Ellerton's account of critical thinking is an important contribution to the field of critical thinking.

Philadelphia is rich in history, but it is not now the captial of the United States, so the US Congress must meet somewhere else.

You know, dogs make a sweet pet. They get all happy like when you come home, you get to take them walking, and they'll protect you from intruders. Even if you don't want a pet, you should still get a dog because they are that awesome.

Excerpts of Tony Abbott's speech to the National Press Club on 2 Feb 2014

  1. 2014 was a tumultuous year that’s reminded us to expect the unexpected.

  2. Thirty eight Australians were shot out of the sky by Russian-backed rebels.

  3. A death cult, claiming justification in Islam, is creating a new dark age over much of Syria and Iraq.

  4. And the terrorism it inspires has hit Melbourne and Sydney.

  5. It was an anxious year for our well-being, as well as for our security.
