This post is fact-based with an opinionated twist to make it more unique.]]> 2021-06-02 18:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lainey_maurer/peqg52wc8e6w2sx9/wish/1580475810 lainey_maurer https://padlet.com/lainey_maurer/peqg52wc8e6w2sx9/wish/1580480860 Your peers heavily impact your ability to make decisions rationally and efficiently. Whether it be classmates, friends, family members, coworkers etc., the decisions you make are always different based off of your support system.(Ex.) When deciding whether to go to college fresh out of high school or take a year off in between stages of schooling, your friends may tell you to wait so you can collect yourself and completely decide what to major in, while your family might persuade you to get it over with as soon as possible.

When deciding whether to get a pet or not, you could be stuck on which choice to make. On one end of the spectrum, you want a new pet because they're cute or cuddly or would be fun to play with. On the other side of the spectrum, you might not have the money or time to care for a pet, as they need it.

If you're hung up on one decision, you may chose it over the other, although it may not be the most rational decision. The same goes for emotional detachment too, if you are repulsed by one option, you may choose the other

For example, you don't believe that the flu shot is an effective way to prevent people from getting the flu. Your nephew sends you an article released by the CDC and several news networks, this article describes how the flu shot uses an inactive virus to introduce the antibodies in your system to a modified version of the virus, making it easier for your body to either not contract the virus at all, or if you do, it won't be as detrimental to your immune system. After reading this article and seeing that it came from numerous believable sources, you decide to change your views and reconsider the possibility of an effective vaccine.
