My Ultimatum Experience

In what circumstances could your decision style have been opposite to the one you identified?

Firstly, it is obvious that we are faced with decisions every day ranging from trivial to vastly important. There are different factors that can affect all of the choices people make. Some of these factors are past experience, individual differences, and the situation. The most critical of these is the situation, although it is commonly overlooked. Usually people will attribute personal

From a young age, I have experienced multiple scenarios in which I have had to make the right choice. For example, during my sixth grade year, I went to a party where others were passing around cigarettes and alcohol and had offered them to me. I denied them and left soon after. This is a

Choices are in everyone's life whether we like them or not they are something that need to be done one way or another. Odysseus had to choose a path one with an eight headed monster that would take out eight of his men or a whirlpool that will kill all of his men. He ended up choosing the eight headed monster knowing that some of his men would survive and still be able to make it home. My choice that I had to make wasnt the most difficult one out there it was to eat pineapple or bbq chips. The pineapple would leave little sores in my mouth that would last a few weeks and the bbq chips make my stomach upset but can be fixed with medicine. I ended up choosing the bbq chips knowing that i just need to take some medicine to help me. The relationship

The books The Giver and The Hobbit both feature choice as a theme. In The Giver, Jonas discovers the freedom of choice when he receives his instructions after the Ceremony Of Twelve. His instructions give him permission to lie and to be rude. Things that he was never allowed to do. This puts Jonas in a state of internal conflict, because these options have never been truly open to him before. In The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins makes his first big choice when he lets the dwarves into his hobbit hole, and then follows after them the next day. This also puts Bilbo in a state of conflict because he does not want to make a possibly permanent decision in the course of 15 minutes.

In my life, I have had to sacrifice quite a bit, and have witnessed risks being taken. My father was offered a job transfer to Michigan about a half a year ago, which would leave my mother, brother and I in our current house. The possible pay increase was a risk worth taking for him. Every other weekend, my brother and mother would go visit him, and I would have to sacrifice my free time to take on all the responsibilities with our horses and pets, along with keeping the house clean and taking care of myself.

A decision I made recently was to either go to a wrestling camp or celebrate my birthday. The wrestling camp was on a weekend and we were going to celebrate it then but we already had a camp planned that my mom forgot about it so I had to pick either the wrestling camp or cancel the camp and have my birthday party.

A significant compromise that I have made would be deciding to forgive my mother for kicking me out in order to live with her again. When I was about 15 years old, me and my mother got into an argument that ended with her dropping me off at my grandmother's door and driving off. I was upset and just asked my grandmother if I could stay, she would do this a lot so I assumed that she was not serious. About a week later she brought over my bed and my clothes. I had realized that she was serious and did not want me back home. A few months later I found a stray dog being thrown off a car in the freeway so I decided to get it. My aunt, who I was also living with, told me that there were no dogs allowed at her home so we drove to PetSmart. They were

There was once a time that I was offered a decision: quit orchestra and save myself a great deal of stress or continue it and see where it would take me. At the time, a lot had been going on in terms of our director being upset at everyone in band and orchestra and the students all feeling overwhelmed by the pressure of having so much expected out of them. I myself was feeling incredibly distressed and on the brink of emotional insanity so someone close to me suggested what should have probably the simplest solution: quit orchestra. My first answer to that was to stay, which was also my second answer and my last answer. The decision of quitting orchestra was a no-brainer to me because I joined the group knowing how much craziness would be involved. I could not quit knowing that I was leaving something so important to my identity behind. So I continued and in the year since that had happened, I have not come to regret my

A time when I have had to make a sacrifice was when I was given the opportunity to go on a school trip for the AZAC day memorial service, the trip was a once in a lifetime opportunity however I was unsure if I would be returning to my school when the trip took place as I was unhappy with my school but felt so fortunate to be given the opportunity to go on this trip especially since the deposit had already been paid. I ultimately decided to not go on the trip as I had already applied to other schools and even though in the end I was not accepted into any of the ones I applied to, I knew that there would be other opportunities in the future to be able to travel. It also meant that someone who missed out on the opportunity to go on the trip got a second

One decision that I had to make that was hard for me was moving here. I was moving here because my mom wanted to be with most of my family and because she wanted my grandma to move with us. It was on my birthday. When I got here, around July 10 my mom asked did I want to stay. I told her that I'll think about it. She said it was now or later. So I just stayed, but I just never thought I would miss Philadelphia, friends, family, and school this much!

A situation where I made an ultimatum was during summer. During my sophomore year, I balloted for AP English, however after I continued to stress about it, and it was too much. I decided to drop out with little regret. However during the first few weeks of junior year, I was aggravated, because what I heard from my friends, the class is easy, but right now they’re writing an essay, so I’m glad I went to CP. Although this was somewhat of a minor ultimatum, I am happy I made the decision, because Mr. Haws is a cool teacher, who also teaches in a way which I learn stuff pretty

Have you ever made a terrible choice? The kind of bad choice that makes your stomach cringe, the kind of bad choice that gives you nightmares and makes you question everything about yourself, like what kind of person you really are.

I have always been afraid of making choices. The reason is I never know whether the choice has a good or bad consequence. For example pranking a friend can earn you some hilarious memories, but what about your friend he or she would probably feel embarrassed and tell you to grow up. One choice I had to make was choosing what elective I was going to have for middle school.

In The Choice, the author uses conflict to teach us that we must make difficult choices to move on in life. For example, the author shows that Travis had some hard choices to make for his wife, Gabby, “To tell the truth meant Gabby would die; to tell a lie meant that Gabby’s wish would be denied.” This evidence shows that Travis was given two hard choices one would be to send Gabby to a nursing home while in her coma or fulfill Gabby’s wish and let her die. Travis had to chose between two choices that would affect his and his daughters’ lives forever. Additionally, Travis didn’t just have choices to make for Gabby, but he had to take into consideration his daughters “His family, Stephanie included, had recommended counseling, and both Christine and Lisa went twice a week, but the temper tantrums seemed to be getting worse.” This evidence also shows that Christine and Lisa were also going through a hard time with their mother being in a coma, which means that Travis needed to make some life impacting choices for his daughters. Clearly, we must make difficult choices to move on in life is a life lesson developed
