Brunch Ethics at Jack's: Finding something to like

How open-minded can we be today around policies of the current administration in Washington? Is there anything to like?

Being open-minded is a concept that depicts ethical behavior, according to writers Linda Elder and Richard Paul, of the Foundation for Critical Thinking. Can we be open-minded?

This topic emerged from the June brunch ethics discussion and with open-mindedness and a bit of bravery, we are taking it on. It might require a bit of homework because, at first take, we may not find something to like! It's time to stretch; get beyond our ego-centric thinking and biases, our self-righteousness and oversimplification, and find something to like.

To be clear, being open minded does not mean giving up our critical thinking standards, like clarity, accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, breadth, logic and fairness. Nope! Use those standards as you look for something to like!

See what you come up with and join the discussion on the patio a bit before 10:30 to be settled when the meeting starts. Look for the Ethical Culture sign at the table. We set out chairs for everyone so please RSVP.

We are meeting at a restaurant and using their facilities. Please be prepared to order food.

Join us! Invite others! Bring your unique point of view and add to the
discussion.

See you there!
