<p>promt : Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.</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>Essay :
Most decisions made by society are based on short term goals. They do not account for the events of the future. Thus even a seemingly great choice might turn out to be a disastrous one or a seemingly fatal choice in the beginning might be a very beneficial one in the future. Therefore any choice we make with a narrow mind is equally like to have negative consequences.</p>
<p>Consider the choice of millions of Americans in the 1920s to invest in the stock market. During the early 1920s the stock market was receiving an influx of money. So oppurtunistic Americans began to invest in the stock market, hoping to gain profit. To them, this seemed like a good choice. But the following year the stock market crashed. Millions of people only thought about the immediate affluence and invested all their life savings. They failed to realize that the stock market is a gamble, and thus lost all their wealth. A very good choice, initially, had a very negative consequence. The big share holders of the company tried to save the company by investing their own money in the company to make the masses feel that the company is doing well and they should invest in it. They major stock holders should have left the full situation blow over instead of trying to salvage a doomed situation. This was a bad idea, even initially, and like the millions of middle class families, the rich stock holders also lost all their oppulence. Both the masses and the wealthy made choices based on short term goals and completely failed to see what the future would hold. Thus they bpth suffered a similar fate.</p>
<p>Therefore any decision whether it is initially good or bad is very likely to have a fatalistic consequence, if it doesn't consider future options. That is why most people, in retrospect, regret their choices. Millions made a good choice to invest in growing companies, but didn't acknowledge that it was a gamble and they should save some of their wealth. The wealthy trustees and share holders knew the company was moribound and yet they continued to make a bad decision. The share holders could have saved their affluence and reinvested it after the depression. Both failed to see the future and suffered negative consequences. Thus, always make decisions based on the future.</p>
