Morality v/s Responsibility

Critical thinking liberates us from prejudice, bias, and ideological brainwashing. Critical thinking is essential for both realisation and defence. Moral decision-making and analysis is the process of trying to differentiate between what is right and wrong and then selecting and justifying one decision.
The Oppenheimer film was highly appropriate for our topic, we learned about the complex nature of critical thinking. Oppenheimer’s unwavering commitment to critical thinking, his constant search for knowledge, and his battle with the weight of responsibility can be seen throughout the film. As the experiment proceeds, he begins to doubt the morality of developing such a deadly power, as well as the consequences of its use in combat.
This movie brilliantly shows how capable humans are of both creation and destruction, and it challenges us to critically think about the importance of using knowledge responsibly and the risks of unchecked advancement.

    Absolutely can relate with it, and the process of selecting between right and wrong is indeed complex and needs deep critical thinking.
