text: One way seeking multiple opinions can help someone make better choices is receiving different view points. For example, when I was in second grade I was made fun of for not playing basketball at a socially acceptable standard. I was stricken with rage due to the torment I got from the other boys. Their taunting led me to tell my parents. As we talked I expressed to them that I wanted to hurt them, I wanted to treat them the way they were treating me. I wanted them to feel the growing anger inside of me. However, my parents quickly stopped me and told me that violence is never the answer. They acknowledged the way I felt but told me if I truly wanted to get back at the kids I had to practice. I asked them how practicing basketball would free me of my anger. They responded saying that If I practiced and became good at basketball the kids would have no reason to bother me about it anymore. I did what my parents said and practiced like my life depended on it. I soon was able to play almost better than everyone who teased me. If my parents had not shared another view point, then I would have lashed out on the kids who made me fell awful. My parents different opinion caused me to make a better decision. Another example of this is when I witnessed another kid getting bullied. In fifth grade a boy in my class was getting bullied by two other boys. I saw them picking on the other boy almost everyday. I didnt want interfere because I was afraid of getting bullied too. I tried to ignore the actions of the boys and just stay away from them. My plan to ignore them worked for a while, however, the burden was becoming to overwhelming. I told my sister about the situation to get it off of my chest. She then told me that I was right to not interfere but I should have got a teacher involved. The next day I went to a teacher and told her about the bullying and from that day on the two boys stopped bullying the other boy. In both of these examples I sought after different opinions and I received different view points on the situations, which led me to make better choices. This is why one way seeking multiple opinions can help someone make better choices is by receiving different view points.
