text: By getting more than one opinion on a problem, the person asking can be assured that they are avoiding bad or false statements and facts. One person may be incorrect or may have low amounts of knowledge on the topic at hand. This can lead to big problems later on down the road for the person seeking the advice. However, getting more opinions on the topic can help in finding the correct facts, and quickly pushes out the few peoples ideas who have a bad understanding of the topic. For example, when I was younger I accidentally broke a necklace that my mother loved a lot. I was extremely worried that if I told her I would get in huge trouble, and I had no clue what to do. At first, I asked my older sister what to do, thinking she might have had a past experience with such an issue. She recommended to me that I should just hide the necklace, and pretend to not know where it was when asked by my mom. This seemed wrong to me, but I wasn't sure, so I sought other opinions. First, I asked some of my friends, and they instead recommended that I just tell the truth and tell her about how I accidentally broke her necklace. I wasn't sold yet on this opinion either, so I decided to ask one more person, my older brother. I then explained to him the situation, and he instantly reassured me on what my friends had said. He told me to tell her what had happened, and that she wouldn't be too mad as he knew that she could fix the necklace and would appreciate my honesty. In the end, it turned out my brother and my friends were correct. By doing what they said I avoided as much trouble as possible, and my mom got to have her necklace. By seeking multiple opinions I ended up with the safest and best answer possible. Seeking multiple opinions not only avoids bad or false statements, but it also avoids bias.
