<p>Prompt:</p>
<p>For a variety of reasons, people often make choices that have negative results. Later, they
regret these choices, finding out too late that bad choices can be costly. On the other hand,
decisions that seem completely reasonable when they are made may also be the cause of later disappointment and suffering. What looks like a wonderful idea at one time can later seem like the worst decision that could have been made. Good choices, too, can be costly.</p>
<p>Assignment: Are bad choices and good choices equally likely to have negative consequences? Plan and write an essay in
which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken
from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.</p>
<p>I found this kind of difficult. Thanks for reading and grading it! Do give some advice. Here is my essay:</p>
<p>No. Bad choices are way more likely to have negative consequences. One would brand a choice 'good' or 'bad' only after the consequences have been experienced or seen. This makes it very unlikely for good choices to have negative consequences.</p>
<p>A choice may have negative consequences and positive consequences or a combination of both. when negative consequences outweigh the positive consequences, a choice will be called bad. The opposite goes for a good choice. </p>
<p>I once had to make a choice, when buying a mobile phone. In the end, I bought an Iphone instead of a cheap Nokia. This specific choice has positive consequences: Good graphics, fast processing, greater number of apps, more storage. On the other hand, it has negative consequences: High pirce. This goes to show that a good choice doesn't have to consist of positive consequences only. But that doesn't make it more likely to have negative consequences.</p>
