    When presented with choices, you make the right decision based on your morals. What you think and know about what is right or wrong and your opinion of the subject is how you make a decision. You can also have information from both sides, pros and cons, ect., to help you with your decision. Try to think of what is best for you or those around you. But, what you want and what you need are two different things, so take everything into consideration. Ultimately, you make the decision, based upon what you think you should do.
    Numerous things can make a choice right or wrong. Like, for instance, if you regret making a choice, it might be wrong, or if your instincts are telling you to do something, then investigate in that. If it has a negative or positive effect on you, then you can tell if its right or wrong. You could also decide if a choice is right or wrong from previous knowledge, or if that choice helps you in any way. Only you can decide.

    I disagree with Catherine's posting. Doing the right thing dosen't always make everyone happy becaus, say, if your friend wanted you to give her the answers to a test. You say no, and stand by your decision. She isn't happy with you doing the right thing. You can't always make everyone happy, because everyone has their own opinions and views, and everyone can see the situation in a different light. Poor decisions usually result in negative consequences, but not always. You can choose to learn from your mistake, or have responsibility and own up for your actions. Say you did give you friend the answers to that test. No one sees you and no one knows, and you don't feel guilty(although you should). You don't get any consequence.It all depends on what you did and how you look at the situation.

    * When presented with choices, how do I make the right decision? go with what your mind is telling you and what you think is right

    Do poor decisions always result in negative consequences? 99.9% of the time they do. I have actually never seen a bad decision not get a bad consequence.

    1. What makes a choice right is when you make the decision not your friend. If you let your friend make the decision it might not be the right one. Usually when you make the choice its always right because you know what your responsible for.
    2. I think poor decisions always result in negative consequences. I think that because if you dont make the right decision and do something wrong and you are with your friends you will get yourself in trouble and your friends might get in trouble to. If you get in really bad trouble in school by making the wrong decision and your on the sports team or any other school activity you are most likely to get kicked off of it. So always make the right decision.

    doing the right thing makes some people happy all the time and some of the people some of the time but never all of the people all of the time ex. President Obama is trying to reform health care and many people are against it. I think there are many people that don't have health care and need it, but what ever is the right desision in providing it for them is probley not going to be liked by everyone.

    when i am presented with a choise i think to myself is it against the law, against school rules or against my christian beliefs and if the answer is no to all above then i feel that it ok to do.

    No doing the right thing dosent always make eveyone happy.When people do bad things and you might of saw what happened and told the teacher what happened the person who you told on may not like you enymore or never talk to you again.But sometimes its good to get away for people doing bad things.

    Do poor decisions always result in negative consequences? No. Most of the time they do but, as long as you learn to do it the right way next tine is was not a poor decision.

    How do ideas in literature have connections to real-life situations? The author could have written about their own life experiences or those of someone he knows could have experience it themself.

    I don't think doing the right thing makes everyone happy. i think it depends on what the right thing is.

    When presented with choices, how do I make the right decision? with the choice you are given you have to make the choice that you think is right not the wrong choice or it will deal with consiquences bad ones too so always think in your miond whst you think is the right one

    i disagree with cullen not all the time if you dont make the right decision it doesnt mean youll fail in life bc some bad decision could be a positive consequece it just depends ont the decision and what the right thing. some bad decisions could make people happy because some of it is a good consequnce and you wont fail in life
