Starter #3 - "Standing in the middle of the road is very dangerous; you get knocked down by the traffic from both sides." --Margaret Thatcher
Today, we talked about Group Decision-Making. Sometimes group decision-making is much harder than making a decision on your own. There are, and will be, times where people will try to pressure us into doing things we don't want to do, or say things we don't want to say. Sometimes, we get "sucked" into doing or saying those things because of peer pressure. At times, it may be hard to get your opinion or point-of-view across to others when in a group of people. More pressures and circumstances come into play than just going through the "six-step decision-making" sequence. Many youth are drawn into destructive activities based on bad group decisions. Stand up for YOU and what you know is RIGHT. Make sure you surround yourself with others that will bring you up rather than pull you down.
Take Away: Learn the correct steps to good decision-making.
*Critical Thinking* - Know how to consistently make good decisions. Think before you act! : )
Homework - none.
