Barry Schwartz’s “The Paradox of Choice: Why less is more” is a book about having too many choices, and the negative impact on society. Schwartz explains that being given too many options can lead people to experience high levels of anxiety that could eventually turn into depression. He found, when given a “trade-off decision,” Schwartz (2000); a choice between two things, people found it nearly impossible to decide between the two items. Schwartz defined this as a loss because a person feels…

The Escalation of Commitment in Decision-Making Introduction In essence, various perceptions of a variety of elements in life have been described.

I recently completed the Wellness Index (Travis & Ryan, 2004), a self-assessment that includes areas such as self-responsibility and love, eating, breathing, and thinking among others and must admit I discovered aspects of wellness in which I could improve. The whole idea of wellness and self-care seemed a little trendy for me but I soon overcame my reluctance, becoming more intrigued as I delved into the statements, bonus questions, and sentence completions. In the past, as both a teacher and…

Through one of the ways of knowing, physiology, we can prove out existence on earth. We are living humans and we do need certain things to survive. We became the way we are, of course through God, but, speaking…

My initial thoughts on my discussions when I read them is that I had quite a few misspelled words. Some of the art pieces we analyzed and discussed were a little more difficult to understand and it is blatantly obvious in my discussions. A lot of them are shorter than others. For example, Module 2: Introduction to Flanders seemed to be shorter in length than any other of my other discussions up until that point. I struggled to find the words to analyze Giovanni Arnolfini and his Bride. My…
