Critical Thinking about Leaf-blower Noise Regulation

Critical thinking is not about finding fault with people who make noise by using leaf blowers, but about an in-depth thinking of goals and values we achieve by limiting their use. People earn more quality life and peace of mind by having quiet time in the early morning and the late evening. The value of mental peace is regarded crucial in our life.

Critical thinking gives us a process of thinking to get into the depth of the problem. It begins with an analysis of the situation (structure, background, or setting), in which the information of when, where, and who is identified. The information may help to set up seasonal differences in restricting hours of leaf-blowing operation. Further thinking will lead critical thinkers to note the implication of the new ordinance to the business of licensed landscapers. Also, critical thinkers may suggest the development of a soundproof leaf-blowing machine. Critical thinking helps us to increase and share our common values, rather than tries to find faults with people who make problems.
