Today I thought a lot about how others affect who we are. I think we all like to think (or at least I do) that we don't care what others think of us and we are our own people and don't need approval from peers. But then that brings me to my next point: do we like hearing other opinions besides our own? When we get a good grade on a test, we like to tell our parents to get praise. When we are unsure about a situation, we like to get feedback about what we should do next from our friends. To what extent should we give up our own decisions to those around us?
Poll: If given a choice, would you rather make all of your own decisions according to only your own basic knowledge, or would you rather consult with others but compromise your own opinion?
