Lesson 4
It is important to take the subject matter as your own to be able to participate in the construction of your own knowledge. While critical thinking is the element that defines whether the choice you’re making is sound, decision making is the process that leads to actionable conclusions. With that in mind, begin thinking about some of your personal experiences as it relates to making decisions.

Reflecting on your past experiences, have you implemented these activities when making decisions? How so?
Explore the following scenario:
You are outside taking your daily walk and just happen to witness a bank robbery. You make the decision to follow the perpetrator, who ends up going down an alleyway. Upon a closer look, you notice that he stops at an orphanage and gives them all the money.
Would you: A) Report the man to police since he committed a crime …OR… B) Leave him alone because you saw him do a good deed.
Thinking critically, how would you go about making a decision on this? What elements would you consider? Which elements, if any, are not as important? What impediments do you think might show up during your decision-making process? Then reflecting on your decision-making processes in the past, was your process to decision-making similar? Why or why not? Be sure to include specific examples to support your thoughts.
