The choice between goodness and wickedness is not simple and should not be referred to as a "simple example".--QmunkE 10:50, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

The examples of complex choices sound a little too US-centric. cyclosarin 03:42, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I think something about the St.Petersburg Paradox should be added Canking 02:16, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

The examples of choice shy away from using the word 'choice' in specific context. Suggested wording:

• Choosing between getting up in the morning or going back to sleep
• Choosing a given route for a journey

[edit] Maybe

A lot of this is more suitable to wiktionary than to an encyclopedia?--78.86.18.55 (talk) 12:01, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] weird sentence structure

"Choice-advocates often pair the virtues of choice with the responsibilities of responsibility." -uhh, wtf?

"Note that the consequences of a personal choice may impact on other people, and any associated responsibilities may extend into a wider society." -again...?

these sentences are consecutive. Ok, so first of all, what is the editor reffering to by "choice-advocates?" what *are* choice advocates? "virtues of choice with 'responsibilities...'" ok that makes sense (if it's just "responsibilities"). "note that the consequences (get rid of note that - just say "the consequences...") of a personal choice may impact other people, and *that* any associated *consequences* (of a personal choice / choices) might extend into "other peoples' lives."

what are you talking about with "choice advocates?" ???

so if i were to edit this it would be (something like),

"Choices are often paired with responsibilities because the consequences of a personal choice may impact other people and a wider range of society than just the person who makes the choice."

This is a good example of a word whose correct definition is poorly known in American culture. Choice is not the same as decision but is often used incorrectly as a synonym. Please evaluate or consider that a choice is generally focused on your personal taste, such as chocolate vs vanilla ice cream. It's often a reflexive response. A decision on the other hand generally requires analysis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.184.170.4 (talk) 14:50, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
