If you don’t like where you ended up it can still change if make more opportunities for yourself and avoid things that you know are harmful. Later in the second stanza of “Choices” it states, “It’s not the same but it’s the…

In “The Tyranny of Choice”, Barry Schwartz writes about choices, the freedom of choice, and the classification of two sets of people based on their decision-making skills. As humans in a changing society, we are faced with choices on a daily basis. These choices can either make us happy or cause us misery and anxiety.

If we were to live in a world where choices are already made for us, then we would live in a world similar to the community of The Giver. The Giver is a world created by Lois Lowry.

I believe that we should be able to make our own choices. It may lead to mistakes, but if we learn from them then we will know not to do that mistake or accident…
