According to Ruth Chang, what makes a choices hard is not just the complexity of the decision or lack of information, but rather the subjective factors that come from the way the alternatives are related to each other.
Chang means that a hard choice is one where the alternatives are not clearly better or worse than each other, and there is no obvious or objective way to determine which option is the best. Instead, the alternatives may have different advantages and disadvantages and cannot be easily compared, making it difficult to know which option to choose.
she gives an example, choosing between two jobs may be difficult if one job pays more but is less fulfilling, while the other job pays less but offers more opportunities for personal growth. In this case, the decision is hard because the advantages and disadvantages of each option are not easily comparable and depend on the individual’s values and priorities.
One thought on “Question 1 – How To Make Hard Choices”
i completely agree with this statement and how it is formatted because in this text or section of the text it basically talks about the subjective factors related to how the options are interconnected, but also how alternatives cannot be easily compared and there is no clear or objective way to determine which one is the best, which is why i agree with this statement and the reader is understanding what the text has to portray.
