A key part of critical thinking, especially when using inductive reasoning, requires us to evaluate sources of information. That is, whether or not they're credible. Therefore, it's vitally important we develop good source analysis skills. The following 4 websites were used as references for academic papers. evaluate whether they were good, credible sources for the assignment's topic? Be sure to explain your reasoning.

How Grounded Is Your Love Life?

In a recent experiment, psychologists at University of Pittsburgh and the University of Waterloo in Canada decided to examine stability, turbulence and love. The researchers focused on stability because it is a term that has both literal and abstract meanings. Our bodies can be physically stable or they can be wobbly, and so can our intimate relationships. The study participants were 40 college students who reported being involved in a committed relationship that had lasted for at least a year. The researchers randomly assigned half of their volunteers to sit at a normal desk and the other half to sit at a workstation that had been subtly altered so that both the chair and the desk wiggled slightly. The volunteers individually completed questionnaires about their lives and romantic relationships, including whether they felt the relationship would last. The volunteers were alone in the room when they completed the questionnaire and were instructed to not put their name on the questionnaire. The ratings of perceived stability ranged from 1- 7 (1 = not at all likely to last to 7 = certain this relationship will last). A participant could report any number between 1 and 7 on that scale. The students who had been seated at the unstable workstations were much more likely to perceive instability in their love lives (mean = 4.17) than were the students whose chairs and work spaces didn’t waver (mean = 4.93). There is a statistically significant difference between these means (t(38) = 3.64; p<0.05).

Why is it so important to write a draft? Why the big deal with revisions?

Assume that you are the sole ethicist on the hospital’s ethics committee. You have been asked by a chair to provide an ananlysis and a recommendation as to how to deal with the situation from an ethical stance.

a) First, thought, you must find out what the legal position is. Summarize this in the beginning of the memo to the chair, I.C. Clearly M.D

b) Next, identify the significant information that is missing and why having this information could influence your analysis.Then, make a recommendation. Explain your reasoning.

c) What would you need to know to make a better recommendation in this case ?

Read the case below:-

A>B is an 17 +9 yrs old patient in a psychiatric hospital in a state that has a ban on abortions after 20 weeks.

She is 12 weeks pregnant. The father is unknown. Her mother, who is her legal guardian wants her to have an abortion. A.B refuses saying its against my principles. Neither A.B nor her mother could care for her child so, if she carried it to term, it would be placed in a foster home. This is all the information available at this time. Religious consideration is not an issue

Critical Thinking: Humanity

Focus on the use of the skill of persuasive expression. You will be required to make a moral argument. First, choose an ethical issue. It can be a large, national issue, such as prayer in schools, abortion, cloning, gun control, the economic stimulus package, or others. Alternatively, it can be a personal issue that you are facing at this time but don't mind discussing. Write a brief outline for an argument supporting your position on the issue, and then use that outline to write a short essay (250 words or more) trying to convince others of your point of view.

Ethical Issue: Gun Control
