<p>Yesterday I was writing essays for practice, and I came by with this prompt. To be honest, I didn't understand it AT ALL the first time I read it, so I asked my boyfriend to explained it to me. I kind of get it now, but I just can't come up with any example. What do you guys think?</p>

<p>Choice improves the quality of our lives. On the other hand, the fact that some choice is good doesn't necessarily mean that more choice is better. There is a problem with having too much choice. We are unwilling to give up any of our options, but stubbornly insisting upon having all the choices available to us can lead to bad decisions, stress, and dissatisfaction.</p>

<p>Adapted from Barry Schwartz, The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less</p>

<p>Assignment: Is it better for people to have limited choices? 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>Use a counterexample from 1984 to show that with no choice, society falls apart.</p>

<p>Quote and question paraphrased:</p>

<p>“It is nice to be able to choose, but having more options may not be better. Too many options leads to hesitation and greediness.”</p>

<p>Is it better to have fewer or limited options? Plan and write… observations.</p>

<p>Better?</p>
