1) What was
the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other words, what did you read
that stood out the most as different from your expectations?
The biggest surprise
for me was how one’s beliefs are ingrained into even the smallest decision
making choices, such as buying a razor. (As noted in the reading.)
2) Identify
at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
I was
confused on why social status and self-image is considered a
middle-of-the-spectrum decision.
3) If you
were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?
Does the
degree of decision importance (shallow, middle-of-the-spectrum, or deep) change
over time and in different cultures? How are you able to generalize what the
population denotes as a “shallow decision” when it could be a crucial decision
for many others? I am curious of how they formed the chart and how reliable it is.
4) Was there
anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what
she or he said? How?
I disagree
with the chart that the reading provided that is titled, “What is at stake?”. I
personally do not believe that deciding on a place to live is more important
than visiting a clinic in regards to a medical condition. I think that fixing
the medical condition would be more in need of attention than picking the
perfect place to live.
