Question

In the Challenger case, advocacy has dominated the inquiry approach in my opinion. Advocacy is the approach which convinces a large number of people about its proposition no matter if the proposition is correct or false. They did not try and seek the correct information to achieve the task at hand. Because of this the space shuttle exploded and lies were lost

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question

Based on your reading of the Challenger case, do you think the advocacy or inquiry approach dominated the decision-making process?

Answer: advocacy approach

Step-by-step explanation:

The fact that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) had dismissed probabilistic risk analyses has been pointed out as the main cause of the Challenger catastrophe. In this case, advocacy dominated the inquiry approach, as management didn´t allow further inquires in probabilistic risk analysis, prioritizing the design-­oriented approach that predominated in NASA during the 1970s.
