Decision-Making is an everyday, lifelong process and skill that you learn and should become proficient in... Porficient in decision-making? Yes, proficient in healthy decision-making! How does this happen? Through education, through your parents or guardians, through those you look up to, through life's experiences. The Decision-making process is a skill learned and developed over a lifetime. All-in-all there is roughly a six step process you should go through before making a decision on anything. What are these steps?

1. Identify the Situation
2. List the Options
3. Weight the Outcomes
4. Evaluate the Values associated with the Outcomes
5. Act on the Decision
6. Evaluate your Decision for next time

* Google the Decision-Making Model / Skill / Process for more in depth information.

How does a lack of DM affect others? How does it affect society? Could a lack of a thoughtful decision-making process lead to unintentional injury or death? Do our actions have recourse or consequence? Do our actions have rewards? You get the point!

Watch one of my subscribed YouTube channels, "ASAPScience & ASAPthought." Reflect upon what you learned in the video. Be sure to give the name of the video in your post and make sure the video is school appropriate! In addition, how do educational channels like this favor a website like YouTube where there is a lot of nonsense videos? How could you defend YouTube to stay unblocked if the principal where to question on visiting the site?

Don't forget to think about the pros and the cons. How does it make you feel? Where do you see this in the world? Be thoughtful, reflective and serious. This is your future!
