text: Seeking multiple opinions can help someone make a better choice because it could prevent dangerous activities from occurring. First, before anyone does anything remotely dangerous they are going to tell someone about it. Whether it is drugs, alcohol, or even shop lifting. They are going to ask a close friend if they should do it. For example, my cousin was telling me about a time her friend almost drank at a party. Her friend asked her if she should do it, and of course my cousin said no. My cousins decision prevented a lot of dangerous acts that could've gone down that night. In conclusion, second opinions can save people in these certain situations.
