Critical Thinking: Day 7

The Critical Thinking Class Day 7 was an insightful session full of discussions where the participants and the facilitators talked about the reasoning and justifications behind our belief in morality and our version of right and wrong. An individual’s ethical code of conduct and perspectives are a product of his/her upbringing, societal expectations, conditions, education, and the fear of consequences. However, everyone will refurbish their idea of right and wrong when emotions come into picture. The participants also delved into the philosophical theories on Ethics, their epistemological base, examples and their real life applications. The session was able to deliver its premise that moral and unconditional absolutes are not universal and subjective to change with every individual and the circumstances that they go through. We all face ethical dilemmas and developing critical thinking as a skill will help guide us towards the reasoning behind our ethical decision making.
