On Case analysis and critical thinking and Bible study

 


Ateneo Professor on Entrepreneurship

Yesterday, I had conversation with Tito Fabay, a bikemate who said before he conducted, together with martial arts training spiritual exercises.  These spiritual exercise were Bible studies.

And he mentioned that most Bible study sessions end up in debates and arguments, sometimes very heated with members of other religion.  He said that INCs had this tendencies but Seventh Day


Adventists were compliant with what the Bible says.

He brought several points:

l.  Many can speak well about the Bible, but to understand and live it is another matter.  (relevance)

2.  The biggest mistake that one can make is to call the other side wrong.  No one can be wrong   in his belief.  This reminds me of the a story while I was taking up MANACC.  The CPA told that somebody's proposed entry was wrong.  To which the Prof, Mallari said, what is your basis;   and then asked the Engr. whose proposed entry was labelled wrong to explain why he thinks his entry is correct.  To which the Professor said that you see, he is right too.

There is not one single option for a solution or decsion, or understanding of truth

For as long as your position is buttressed by facts that are accurate and relevant, then you are right.

The question is are you looking at the facts?  Are you an evidence based person?  Did you read the case well?  Did you understand the facts well?

Why am I posting this?

Is this relevant to entrepreneurship?

Are the SEntrep students very good, have enough practice on case analysis and critical thinking?

May I suggest that for those who think they are not very good at this (especially those who were absent or late for the case analysis) to try making comments on the US, Eurozone news.
