Suppose that you are considering whether to become a vegetarian. You might consider this issue for at least two different sets of reasons. On the one hand you might feel this is essentially a moral issue, about the rights and wrongs of treating animals in particular way and eating them. Or you might feel it mainly as a health issue, about the benefits and health risks associated with eating meat. It is quite common for people to adopt one perspective or the other. The point is that you need to be as clear as possible about the background to the decision, the assumption which lie in the background, the context and so on if you are to weigh the case wisely. Although models of good decision making often fail to mention this requirement explicitly, it is implicit and getting clear about why a decision is necessary helps to focus one's thinking.
Sometimes being clear about why a decision is necessary means identifying a problem and sometimes it will require you to think carefully about objectives, what you or others want to achieve. So for example, if you are considering which university to attend, you might realize you know very little about the institutions you could attend, so that is a problem. Alternatively someone might advise you could attend, so that is a problem. Alternatively someone might advise you to apply for university A because that is the most prestigious place for the subjects in which you are interested, but you may feel that this is not necessarily right for you, so you may need to think carefully about what you want to get from your university education, what you are looking for what your objectives are.
Questions: a) Give two reasons why you want to become a vegetarian. b) What do you mean by health issue? c) Why do you need to be as clear as possible about the background to the decision? d) What is a problem if you are considering which university to attend? e) Give a suitable title for the passage.
