Activity 1.4

  • 1

    Whether a decisions outcome is good or bad depends on how the decision was made and what option was chosen. To compare two decisions, I have chosen the past two decisions mentioned in previous activities.

    To recap, my sister had to decide whether she wanted to go to the doctor or not, and my grandpa had to decide if he wanted to stretch his legs or start talking walks. In this activity, I will “assess both the outcome of the decision and the process by which [each] decision was reached.” (Hilliard City Schools).

    In my sisters experience, she decided to make a group decision as she wasn’t sure what to choose by herself. Sometimes in group decisions, “emotions [play] too large a role in making a choice,” (Hilliard City Schools). While this could have been the case in this experience, the decision made was still the best one.

    My family chose what we thought was best for my sister. By waiting a day and then going to the doctor, my sister was sure that this was in fact an illness. My sister can now make more and better decisions by “Learning from experience” (Hilliard City Schools). which “is important to continuous improvement and effectiveness.” (Hilliard City Schools).

    My grandpa has begun to take walks. He made this decision on his own, because he wanted his health to be of his own reasoning. Had the walks not fixed the issues, it would “imply a need to revise the decision and try again.” (Hilliard City Schools).

    This decision was better than a group decision because only my grandpa knows what he is feeling in his legs. Nobody else feels his pain. My grandpa is healthier than he was before, and now has knowledge “that will benefit future decisions.” (Hilliard City Schools).
