Critical thinking day 7 ETA

Life is full of difficult decisions, from telling a small lie to protect someone’s feelings to balancing profit and environmental impact. Ethical theories help us navigate these dilemmas. Moral relativism suggests that right and wrong depend on cultural beliefs, while self-interest theory argues that people act in ways that benefit themselves, though not always selfishly. Deontology, championed by Kant, insists on strict rule-following, whereas utilitarianism focuses on maximizing happiness for the majority. Rule utilitarianism blends both, advocating rules that generally lead to the best outcomes. Understanding these theories enhances our critical thinking, helping us see different perspectives and make fair, informed decisions. Ethical dilemmas aren’t just challenges; they encourage personal growth and better judgment. By exploring these ideas, we become more thoughtful and responsible individuals, equipped to handle life’s toughest choices. What ethical dilemmas have you faced? Share your thoughts!
