Decisions

Decision making is a huge part of each individual's life. The best way for Americans to educated and informed decisions is for them to be exposed to many different views and opinions. When people only listen to louder echoes of their own voices (especially over the internet), their views can become narrow and fragmentation and a series of uninformed decisions may come. Since citizens elect the officials that will be representing them, it is important to know all sides of candidates and issues that they will be addressing. While they can hear the good effects of a particular decision that would be made by a candidate, if they do not understand the negative effects, things could turn catastrophic. For example, if most people from a particular party favored expansion of the United States into other territories and voted for a candidate who said that he would do this, a war could possibly be started with other countries and citizens of other countries would be put in harm’s way.
