Question #2

When we think of hard choices, we tend to think of “something big, something momentaneous.” Chang argues, that “realizing that small choices can also be hard, may make big hard choices seem less intractable.”  Why is this?

According to Chang making decisions is not only difficult when are big moments in our life for example buying a house, but making a decision can also be hard when things are not so important, and that happens because we have different options one better than the other. Many times, we know what is convenient for us, but we prefer something else maybe because we like it more or gives us more satisfaction. Chang uses an example, “When we going to decide what to eat for breakfast she compares two different food, one healthy and one tastier, but less healthy,” so the problem when we going to make a decision doesn’t have to do with small or big moments in our life, but with the several options we have.
