Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Health - Public Health, grade: 1, Egerton University, language: English, abstract: In daily life, ethical reasoning serves as the touchstone of solving disputes. However, ethical reasoning alone is not sufficient to guarantee reliable reasoning outcomes. It requires the precepts of critical thinking. It is apparent that a critical thinker is able to respond to any ethical issue and formulate a reasonable solution. From a philosophical approach, critical thinking enables people to interpret behavior or analyze an event which is usually an outcome of a certain behavior from what he knows. As such, people are able to distinguish facts from fiction. For instance, critical thinking perspectives can help in solving an employment dispute. Therefore, this paper applies critical thinking to identify who should bear the responsibility for accident in which a company employee sustained injury from a table saw.
