    Honestly, in my opinion, if evidence-based decision making had been used this whole disaster could have been ultimately avoided and this would not be a part of history as we know it to be today. I have learned, time and time again, that research is so important when it comes to making decisions. You must know your different options and the potential results of each so that the decision you make is going to be the best possible one. If there would have been thorough research conducted along the way, any issue that arose could have been resolved instead of resulting in becoming too much and leaving everyone defeated. Evidence-based decision making takes a lot of thought and consideration and being incompetent will not get you where you need…

An evidence-based decision making process would have allowed the situation to be accessed by all parties. It also would have allowed them to come together before the decision was made. However, this is not what occurred in BP and Transocean’s decision.…

    Hi Forrest, I agree with the downside of conceptual decision making, which is wasting time while trying to make the right decision. In my post I talked about something similar to that about not focusing on what is currently going on. I feel like it would be best to focus on what is going on now and maybe focus on the future at the same time but make the present more important to figure out. This may able to eliminate wasted time during the…

This preparation normally starts with ensuring our vehicles are ready for the long, harsh, and cold weather that will eventually come to this area. One of the most important items on my list would be new brake pads and shoes on all of our vehicles. What makes this a need vs. a wanted item is the fact that I want to ensure the safety of my family members and myself.

Secondly, Darwin wanted to avoid the bias associated with empirical claims; that hypotheses were created as an aftermath of obtaining empirical evidence. Both Francis Bacon and John Stuart Mill were proponents of induction, a method in which one collects observations without any preconceived notions.…
