However, others are not quite so adept at remaining impartial and keeping a full perspective. The below statement reactions will reflect and describe the more common miscues that people can engage in. The reactions will follow the corresponding letter item in the textbook for each item.

A is deceiving because while wealth is indeed a pursuit of many people, while it does tend to be hard and while many famous people have pursued it, it does not mean it is the goal and aim of everyone and the difficulty thereof is basically irrelevant. Some people are perfectly happy but poor
B is sort of correct but perhaps misleading in that no ethical teacher should go easy on students to assist their grade as this is...
On the other hand, some teachers are indeed too harsh. Basically, the statement could be true or false depending on perspective.
C is false on its face. It is true that cars and abortion and many other things did not exist back then, but to suggest that the morality and parables told back then could not be applied to today's deeds and works is a stretch. There are limitations but they are not extensive for the most part.

While allowing an authoritarian voice to hold final sway over what is done may be least desirable, it may be necessary in a very spread-out group with many areas of expertise, or if the leader bears the brunt of the responsibility for the project and has greater knowledge of the different organizational factors involved. There is no single perfect formula for forming a cohesive group, making decisions, and arguing in
Decision-Making Assessing a Decision Based on Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats Technique In the book Six Thinking Hats Edward de Bono describes the process of parallel thinking. This process means looking at problems from all angles at once. Edward de Bono uses the example of four people all looking at the same house. One person is looking at the front.
