How we decide

Though there are many factors which affect why some one might decide to do something, I believe that the main factor is the consequence of the decision. Whether it is consciously or subconsciously people often weigh the pro and cons before making a decision. This means that the person will see whether or not or not the opportunity they may gain is worth the sacrifice. A good example of this can be seen of just by watching channels such as C-span. You will notice that the members of the congress point out every pro and con before making a decision. A less obvious example can be seen when you decide whether or not to get out of bed in the morning. You weigh the pros and cons and realize that the sacrifice of sleeping in and skipping work and possibly getting fired. is not worth the opportunity you could gain. Some decisions I have made recently were: whether or not I should apply for a certain dorm at my college; Whether I should watch this show or study for this test.
