Personal Connection
Decision making is relevant in our everyday lives. (Typically when I am with a group of friends and we don't have a plan for the day) In the reading, I learned that decision making requires ideas, and then those ideas are shared one at a time. This related to me because I have been in several situations where my friends and I didn't know what to do, so we came up with ideas and took a vote on what sounded the most fun. Some wanted to hike and others wanted to visit Pike Place. This was beneficial to us because we were able to come to an overall agreement.
