text: For example, let's say someone wants a dog. He or she is going to have to listen to many people's opinions about having a dog. One person could say, "Having a dog is a very big responsability. So don't get one unless you ready to take on the risks for it." Another person could say, "It's really easy to own a dog. All you have to do is feed it, wash it, play with it, take it out on a walk, and clean it's mess." After he or she listens to both people, he or she makes a pros and cons list and decides which side has more and which one is the best.
