Difference between descriptive and critical writing 

# data[].attributes.body
Descriptive writing explains what something is. It gives information, facts, and details but does not analyse or judge.

Critical writing goes deeper. It analyses, evaluates, compares ideas, and gives reasons. It shows strengths, weaknesses, and your understanding.

Descriptive thinking is about what one see, hear or read without adding or subtracting which means giving factual information as they are, for example the car is red which is the color a car you’re seeing being painted while Critical thinking you think beyond thought or beyond what you’re seeing or hearing or the information provided for example the car is red, now you think beyond why it is red which is maybe it might make it more visible on the road.

Descriptive Writing -The "What"

Just stating the facts without taking a side.

Example: "The new iPhone has three cameras and a titanium frame."

Critical Writing -The "Why"

Explaining if those facts are actually good or bad.

Example: The titanium frame makes the phone lighter, but the three cameras aren't a big enough upgrade to justify the high price.

Generally -

Descriptive: Just reporting the news.

Critical: Being the critic who reviews it.

Descriptive writing describes and explains facts and information without analysis, while critical writing goes further by analysing facts and information collected, evaluating evidence, and giving a reasoned judgment.

Example:

Descriptive: Social media is widely used by students for communication and entertainment, while

Critical: although it helps communication, excessive use can reduce study time, showing that its impact depends on how students manage it.

In my opinion, the main difference between descriptive and critical writing is the level of depth and thinking involved. Descriptive writing focuses on presenting facts, events, or information as they are, without adding interpretation. It tells the reader what happened or what something is. Critical writing goes further by examining why something matters, how ideas connect, and what the implications are. It involves questioning, analysing, comparing, and forming a reasoned judgement based on evidence. I believe critical writing is more valuable in academic work because it shows deeper understanding, but descriptive writing is still important as a foundation for explaining the basic facts before any analysis can take place.

critical writing is where we not only describe them but also analyse and evaluate the ideas.

In my understanding, descriptive writing is when you explain something by giving facts or information about it. You are mainly describing what it is, how it works, or what happened. You don’t really give your opinion or analyse it deeply-you just present the information.

On the other hand, critical writing goes further than just describing. It involves analysing the topic, questioning it, comparing different viewpoints, and discussing strengths and weaknesses. In critical writing, you support your points with evidence and show that you have thought deeply about the subject.

# data[].attributes.body
Descriptive writing is just define about a particular topic without proper analysis and depth information and writing is like an essay without facts.

On the other hand, Critical writing is completely a fact based writing which comes from proper analysis, comparison, considering plus and minus points. Critical writing is also argument based.

The main difference between the two is that descriptive writing could be about one topic, where the writer describes a certain topic or subject and explains it thoroughly, for example an article about AI.

In contrast, critical writing is when the author or writer, takes two contradictory ideas or statements and explains each one and gives both sides of the argument, and at the end they might choose an argument or side based on their own beliefs, opinions or judgments, for example the pros and cons of playing video games as kids.

Descriptive writing is a type of writing that describes a person, place, object, or experience using simple details so the reader can imagine it clearly. It includes summaries, reports, factual descriptions of any events, objects, and a phenomena. Although, we can define it as what is being described in the upcoming paragraphs.

Descriptive writing explains what something is by presenting facts or summarising information, while critical writing goes further by analysing and evaluating ideas. Descriptive writing might outline what a theory says, but critical writing examines its strengths, weaknesses, and relevance. In academic work, both are useful, but critical writing shows deeper thinking and helps build a stronger argument.

Descriptive writing- showcasing an information just by describing rather than critically analyzing.

Descriptive writing explains or summarizes facts, events, or information without analysis or opinion. It tells what happened or what something is. Critical writing, however, goes beyond description by evaluating, analyzing, comparing, and forming judgments. It shows deeper thinking, explores implications, and supports arguments with evidence and reasoning.

Critical writing is analytical inclusion of comparisions which presens evaluation.

Descriptive writing is when you describe someone on how it looks or give a direction to someone. An example is products we buy, behind it there is a descriptive write short one telling us about it (Vaseline).

Critical writing it's about thinking carefully, asking questions, and giving your own opinion based on evidence.

An example is the MBA review in Australia about student study in MGT01 strategic leadership
