text: Secondly, seeking multiple opinions prevents mistakes. When someone listens to stories of other people they can take that experience and apply it to their own lives. Along with that, when someone takes advice they also form a better judgment. For instance, this summer when I was shopping for back to school supplies I was looking online to find a good quality backpack. After searching for a while, I found this cute black book bag with stars on it, and I really wanted to get it. However, just before I ordered it I decided to look at the reviews. When I read the reviews I found out that the book bag was too small and poorly made. I didn't buy it, and I was able to save my money. Therefore, getting multiple opinions is helpful because they prevent mistakes.
