text: When people keep an open mind and try listening to other people, they have a higher chance of making a better choice. Only taking one perspective into consideration may affect others due to someone not thinking of them at first. Therefore, having a second opinion can help them make a better choice because another person may think of other things or people that may be affected that someone had not thought of at first. A person may also bring up a different point that hadn't been thought of at first which will help a person with their decision making process. When it comes to decision making, taking other things and people into consideration will always help make a better choice.
