Enrichment: Perspectives About Brain Processes



We have devoted much time to concepts and examples  surrounding Critical Thinking and Metacognition.    We have also examined some fascinating brain research that connects the physical part of the brain to extraordinary, metaphysical and even philosophical phenomena.  Based on the NOVA documentary, Secrets of the Mind, you may discuss any  segment that you found most interesting and informative. Also state  how/why  that information was meaningful to you  and to the core of  thinking critically.

The Right and the Good

Virtually everyone, at one time or another, has to make decisions based on either  The Right Thing to Do or The Good  Thing to Do.  From what we have discussed, there certainly is a difference between the two, and the differences are  reflected  by  our viewpoints based on Ethics, Morals and Values. 
Describe a dilemma that you may face in  your chosen career where you have two choices…one being the Right Thing to do, and the other being the Good Thing to do. State the dilemma, two options and explain which is the Right Thing and which is the Good Thing---and why.
 You do not have to state your choice, and remember you are to  describe examples of  Right and Good---not  Wrong, Evil or Bad.
