Final

Michelle and I presented on the topic concerning Barry Schwartz's, "The Paradox of Choice".

We discussed the idea of is less really more, and we determined that in many cases, if not all, less options are actually more beneficial than a multitude of options.

In the year 2008, humans are constantly surrounded by choices. Entering a supermarket, there are a least 200 options just for cereal alone-not counting the plethora of other options that are available in life that are much more meaningful. For example, the sheer number of colleges that there were to apply to!

In a sense, we just wanted to reiterate the idea of choice. We spoke about the topic above, and we also highlighted the idea of how we didn't even know how many choices there were that are available to us until after we completed this course.
