Critical Thinking Scenario

Analyze the "To Drill or Not To Drill" scenario from a critical thinking perspective.

What is the moral responsibility of all participants?

What are the stakeholders' moral failings?

What ideals or obligations are in conflict?

What is the best outcome, given the consequences? 

Prepare a 1,000-word minimum essay or 5-10 minute creative presentation of a reflection of the analysis by describing the relationship between critical thinking and ethics. 

Note. Remember that this should be based on critical thinking, not on your personal opinion.
