There is a difference between critical looking and just looking. Looking, first and foremost, involves the action of seeing or viewing something either an object or a being. To look has been a natural part or act that has been integrated to our everyday lives. It enables us to identify and associate things with the cultural meanings designed by the society we lived in. Critical looking, on other hand, differs slightly from just looking as it involves the act of being analytical towards something that we’re looking. Being analytical here can also mean questioning and judging. For example, an art goer observes an art in the gallery and analyses it to decide whether it is meaningful and good piece of work or not. To conclude, just looking and critical looking is different than one another as the former involves the act of looking just by the surface with no intention to deeply judge the object/subject he or she is looking at while critical looking involves the act of looking with the need to analyse and be critical of something.

For instance, the picture below indicates a group of five people (presumed to be friends) doing the same action which is jumping upwards in midair and this image taken of them fits to what the law of common fate is all about which is
