text: Most people, when they have to make a decision, would want to know what other people would do in that instance. For example, a person could be shopping for clothes, and they might be stuck between two options to choose from. That person would want some help with trying to decide, so they would ask a few people about what they thought. By asking those people, the person would get feedback from the people that were asked, and that feedback would give the person a greater understanding about what others think. This can apply to any decision being made, not just when it comes to shopping. The advice that you receive just by asking other people helps you out a great deal when making a choice. This isn't the only benefit of seeking multiple opinions, though.
