Chapter 8
Warren Buffet, a famous financier with an estimated personal fortune of 1.5 billion dollar, made the decision to give most of his will wealth to charity and only a few hundred thousand dollars to each of his three children. His decision was not based on animosity against his children but, his belief that inheriting a lot a money like that would be more unhealthy than helpful for his children. Warren Buffet is a smart and really poised financier and I am sure he didn’t take that decision without thinking about the consequences and without weighing the obligations he has with his children. Buffet decided that the obligation of justice toward charity in need of money was bigger than the obligation of beneficence for his own children. I am sure he would not leave his children in though money situation and I am sure that each of his children are really wealthy. He judged it was better to give his money to people that really needed it instead of giving it all to his children and make it easy for them.
After learning that the company is violating the state antipollution law and that the state inspectors are being bribed to ignore the violation, the executive takes no action. This is a good example of an executive that is not respecting his obligations of citizenship, employment obligations, or professional obligations. As an executive of a large company, you have to face your obligations concerning the company issue. Your company is violating the state antipollution law so as a citizen you should be concerned and you should want to fix the situation for the best of the citizens, the state, and your personal health. Also, it is an employment obligation to follow the laws and regulations so if you learn that your company is violating law, you have to take responsibility and ownership to manage the issue.

In regard to the origin of Buddhism they believe there is no beginning nor end. It was founded by Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) during the sixth century in Northern India.

    I don't know if there is a universal correct definition of critical thinking. I think this a very individualistic tool used by humans to break down different problems and situations and the best way to go about coming up with the best resolution in a non-biased manner. Gathering a thought process that is reasonable and with demeanor. This is simply how I would personally define critical thinking. Thinking things over more than once, second guessing yourself here and there, seeing things from multiple perspectives, and most importantly thinking if your thoughts would be different from the other side of an argument or situation. I think critical thinking is important for us to fully understand ourselves and our situations as well as others and their situations. Critical thinking is considering multiple angles and viewpoints and trying to understand them and where they come from, as well as why they exist. In my life personally, critical thinking has always been something I would like to think I've had due to being raised in a very diverse atmosphere and a very diverse community. I've seen racism towards more than one race, I've seen both sides of different biases, and I have lived in a small town closed minded community as well as the middle of a large densely populated city. It makes you think differently than most around you. It seems like you feel differently than most around you. There isn't much that surprises you so there aren't many situations that you are uncomfortable in. You think before you act, you think before you speak, and you take time and consideration to realize the type of environment you are in and the people you are surrounded by. Things like this don't go through every young person's mind before acting or speaking. You slow down, you react calmer, and you try not to get too high or too low. From this course I don't think I'm looking for how to think critically as much as why some of…

    In Buddhism, the primary purpose is to end suffering. The Buddha believed and therefore taught that humans suffer because they are to consumed in things that do not give long lasting happiness and are too busy trying to hold on to things such as friends, material possessions, and things that do not last, and in the end brings upon sorrow. This is where the beliefs of the Four Noble Truths come in: teaches that all life is marked by suffering, suffering is caused by desire and attachment, suffering can be stopped, and the way to end suffering is to follow the Noble Eightfold Path.…

    Critical thinkers maintain a healthy skepticism. They examine definitions of terms, weigh premises, consider evidence, and decide whether arguments are valid and logical. When making an important decision in your life, it can be extremely helpful in thinking critically about certain situations. For example, sex or sexual intercourse is something all people should take seriously. Sure, when people think about sex, they tend to think more on the positive side of the effects of sex. However, there is much more to take into consideration: are you young? What would happen if you were to get pregnant? Are you in high school?…
