Why do we use the word strong, instead of the word good, as a positive way of describing the quality of one's critical thinking? Use an example to support your position
What will be an ideal response
The word strong is used to praise a person's critical thinking process without necessarily agreeing with the person's conclusion or making any judgment about the person's ethics. The word good is ambiguous in a problematic way because "good critical thinker" could mean "person who thinks well" or "person who is acting ethically." For example, a person can be adept at developing cogent arguments and adroit at finding the flaws in other people's reasoning, but that same person can use these skills unethically to mislead and exploit a gullible person, perpetrate a fraud, or deliberately confuse, confound, and frustrate a project.
