The Decision That Should Matter But Do Not

Most decisions are made with analysis, but some are judgment calls not susceptible to analysis due to time or information constraints. Please write about a judgment call you’ve made recently that couldn’t be analyzed. It can be a big or small one, but should focus on a business issue. What was the situation, the alternatives you considered and evaluated, and your decision making process? Be sure to explain why you chose the alternative you did relative to others considered.

With the citizens of the United States having to give their consent for government options, we are able to stay safe from government decisions that we feel are unjust. In 1989 Chinese university students filled Tiananmen Square in Beijing and protested for a democratic government. Because they do not have this right, they were crushed by the government killing thousands of people (Document C). If the government is going to be in control of our lives as citizens, we should, at least, have some say in decisions so the people can be happy unlike the Chinese students involved in the protest.

The world is really messed up in today's generation. Many of the population around the world especially the United States Of America is forcing each individual to go by a certain government or leader. In the United States they have most individuals to be free and as independent they want to be but the one thing that the United states need to do is watch how many individuals use their free independent rights by doing ignorant things. The individuals that have independent rights do not know how to use their rights properly. They think their rights do not mean anything to other citizens and the authorities.

“There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly” (Saxby 25). Countless times when we were trying to push the government to do the stuff we needed them to, the president did not take into account what we want. Which would be nice since we would be able to change history. However, to change history, it will take a while, considering that no one affects other people's minds by expressing concerns. “We will gladly die and will not so much as touch you... as there is yet life in there our bones, we will never comply with your arbitrary laws” (Applebee 25). Now suddenly everyone may decide to help for the same cause. “So long as it is your endeavour to control us with justice and love, we will let you to do so. But if you wish to strike at us from behind, we cannot permit it” (Applebee 25). Observing at times events that we do not wish to occur; is not what we appreciate from our leader, as he helps others more than

Humans have always needed a power above to guide them. Whether it could be a monarchy, republic, or a god. It gives humans a sense of safety and trust. There is no place on earth without a governmental system. However, if that government is corrupt the people have the right to overthrow it and replace the system with something new. The right of which it is said in The Declaration of Independence. America was born but at what cost?

As the leaders, Rob Hall and Scott Fischer made the most crucial decisions in the

The main flaw with this point of view is the assumption that, because America has a strong grip on world economy and politics, it is ethical for her to take control of world affairs. The reality of the matter is, America’s massive wealth and military force does not necessarily mean that the government of the United States is wiser than the rest of the world. Rather than abusing her power, America should focus on being a team player and promoting democracy at home and abroad through allying themselves with countries holding similar values. In today’s world it is nearly impossible for an action that America takes to not have drastic consequences in many different

As Americans, we get to wake up every day and have the freedom to make our own decisions. In the story What is Freedom, Jellison and Harvey give their definition of freedom, “Freedom is associated with making decisions, and that other people sometimes limit the number of alternatives from which they can select.” (48-49). This means that we

In “Tyranny of Choice,” Barry Schwartz brings to the table the topic of choice. The common believe is the more choices, equals more freedom. Under that assumption we are living in the best times then. Everything in the world has multiple options to choose from. The choices range from what type of gum you want, to the best life insurance policy for your family. Schwartz uses the modern university for his example, he likens it to an intellectual shopping mall: “Individual customers are free to ‘purchase’ whatever bundles of knowledge they want”. Some universities let incoming freshmen sit in on classes briefly to test them out, the way one would try on clothes at a store. On the surfaces this seems amazing, how could someone not be happy having the freedom to choose what fits them best. Schwartz argues that more choices in life limits our freedom. This happens by the choices taking up more of our time, in turn causing more stress and decreased happiness.

Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird shows that it is better to make decisions based personal beliefs rather than society's expectations. Three characters who make decisions based on their own conscience are Mr. Heck Tate near the night of Bob Ewell’s death, Atticus with the Tom Robinson case, and (to be decided).

From the time Congress was first created, it has always dealt with the complicated issues that derive in the face of the nation. No matter how perplexing or emotional a case ends up being, it is left up the Justices to make the difficult choices and find a reason for justifying them. But, the court is not charged with deciding according to the law. A fine judge must put their own feelings and ideas behind and cloak themselves in the interest of the case. He must speak open mindedly to successfully evoke the promises of the constitution. Overall, the Supreme Court arrives at decisions in a variety of ways.

The reader agrees with Lockhart’s decision because of the facts that he found. Proven on the lack of counsel within the plan administration and the assessment of the lack of justifiable decision criteria. One may also believe that one’s judgment of being drafted could be an infringement of an individual's right. The project was organized with the goal that people were interested in more discipline than they may have been if the system had not been founded. The project had an ethical, lawful and established commitment to endeavor to guarantee consistency in the activity of prosecutorial attentiveness, and disregards the necessities of equivalent assurance if one neglects to try. He saw that the U.S. Lawyer's office had the power to figure out

The probability of making mistakes or take a wrong decision is higher under stressful or pressure situations, especially when we have a doctor asking us to do something that sometimes it is not under our scope of practice. We as nurses have to learn how to keep it together and never loss control. We do have not only the right but the responsibility to refuse performing a procedure that we do not feel comfortable with it, particularly when the safety of our patient can be compromised. It is crucial to be aware of our skills. Not because you are allowed do it, means that you have to do it when you do not have the skills or knowledge to perform the task. It won’t make you a worse nurse to say that you do not know how to do it or that you do not

We have to think about the qualitative factors that are involved in our decision making too. In the decision making process, as we saw in a case called The Nancy M. Hohman, we saw that many times the numbers will not speak louder than our personal preferences. The Nancy M. Hohman was a less than one year old ship, worthy US$ 40 million, carrying 200,000 tons of crude oil and 28 crew members and had an engine malfunction 9 miles way off the coast of South Africa. However, Port Elizabeth (the nearest one) was too small for the ship and the next close one was 380 miles away.

What Sullivan repeatedly revolves around is this whole idea of technology creating our own world, that of which we have complete control. This ability to control our own world becomes narcissistic and eliminates the serendipity of life, or the happy accidents that you could run into. With having control of your own world through technology, everything is specifically tailored to you. The music you listen to is completely to your likes, the things you read all agree with your personal views thus creating less challenging and thought provoking experiences, and the people you ‘meet’ aren’t by chance, but chosen by a friend request or because you decide to take out the ear buds and talk. The happy chances of hearing something new, learning something new, and meeting someone completely different from you, according to Sullivan, are drastically affected by our technology. We end up living in this virtual reality instead of the real world and we deprive ourselves of the actual experience of really living and being human.
