In school and at work, we have to think critically and use our moral judgement everyday. For example, if you have an essay due in a week the "right" thing to do would be to start it as soon as possible to make sure you don't hand it in late, and this would also be the logical thing to do since you will get a better grade if it is early and well written and you wont be in trouble for putting it off. Another example is the way we interact with each other in school. The logically and morally right thing to do is treat each other with respect and kindness, so you don't hurt anyone's feelings or ruin their day, and to make sure you don't lose any friends at school or lose your job.
In conclusion, I do think that there is a moral imperative to think critically, because our moral judgement and our sense of logic are both used when we are trying to make the "right" decisions. It's a good idea to consider the logical side of things as well as the emotional side of things, because it keeps us balanced in our thinking. We also must understand that not everybody's ideas of what is right and what is wrong are the same; its all about individual perspective and experience. Overall, morals and critical thinking are definitely intertwined and should each be considered fairly when making important decisions and doing the "right" things.
