Tag: critical versus ethical thinking

By Linda Fisher Thornton Ethical thinking and critical thinking are both important and it helps to understand how we need to use them together to make decisions.  Critical thinking helps us narrow our choices. Ethical thinking includes values as a filter to guide us to a choice that is ethical. Using critical thinking, we may discover an opportunity to exploit a situation for personal gain. It’s ethical thinking that helps us realize it would be unethical to take advantage of that exploit.
