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.
