text: More than one opinion will make sure they are not being influenced by only one person. If they are only asking for one persons advice, that person can take advantage of the situation and control them. For example, when I was in 5th grade, I would always go to the same person for advice. They would always tell me to do things I didn't want to do but nevertheless, I would always do whatever they suggested. In retrospect, I should've asked for more peoples opinions so that I could see that there were more paths to follow.
