text: Sometimes making a decision affects not just one person, but multiple people. An example would be when a leader is making a rule they're going to want to know what happened when other countries tried to enforce the same rule. They want to know how the rule affected the citizens of other countries to know if the new rule would be beneficial or harmful for their people. Another time when this happens is when family or friends want to do an activity, they communicate with each other and share which activities they have done in the past that they think everyone else will enjoy. During sports games the players on a team will strategize with each other to find the best way to win. They know which tactics work and which don't after trying out new strategies each game and seeing if strategies that other teams used have worked. Sometimes making a decision doesn't depend on one person, it depends on multiple people to end up with a choice together so everyone is in agreement and everything is fair. These are all reasons why it is important to know others people's experiences and opinions when making a choice.
