Part A:Confirmation Bias: You can often catch yourself being a victim of confirmation bias if my make the choice to do a little big of further research, but often if you are susceptible to confirmation bias you will avoid taking this extra step. I personally am a fan of things that are all natural and advertised as being "naturally good for you", often I quickly buy into things such as green tea which is supposed to do a long list of incredible things for your body. After a few weeks of believing this and being happy with my ignorance, i decided to do further research. I quickly found out that drinking green tea would be beneficial to me but only in a very small way and it was actually something called "matcha" which is found in a small percentage in green tea that was the actual major main benefactor. Companies often advertise their products as "all natural" or "organic" and we automatically assume these things are good for us.
Part B:Intuition acts both as a lens that helps and prevents you from seeing the truth when making moral and ethical decisions. When having to make a quick decision about something your intuition is first to kick in but after using reasoning and thinking a little longer on the problem at hand you may find that your intuition has led you to the wrong answer. Also sometimes your intuition can help you in finding something that is right for you even if statistically it doesn't seem like it is. After weighing the pros and cons you may find that one option is a much more logical decision but you are still drawn to the other option. I often do this when buying clothes, even though I know that it is more logical to spend my money one thing that is more expensive and will last me longer, I always end up spending the same amount of money but on more items even though I know that they will most likely shrink or fall apart after a few wears and washes.
Part C:I believe that the possession of knowledge most definitely does carry an ethical responsibility. I think that if you have knowledge that could possibly be beneficial to someone else you should share it. For example if you knew the cure to cancer you should probably share it with others. Also I believe you're required to pass down information that you know to the generation under you. It is necessary to teach the younger generation things that were taught to us by those before us and update the knowledge that you were given.
