Topic 4: Where Choices Lead

       There is always opportunity cost when people are making a decision. Some opportunity costs of getting into PAS for me are the education of local school, less money pay for school and time in Taiwan. The opportunity costs of taking AP Micro are classes that I can take during that class time and less study times.

        I think my choice of coming to PAS is rational. The benefit of coming to PAS is that there is a much higher chance of getting in a good college or university. Another great benefit is that I can improve my English ability in PAS which is very important for our future jobs or business. On the other hand, the opportunity costs are about money and time. Therefore I think the benefits of coming to PAS are much greater than the opportunity costs and this make my decision rational.

        I think my decision of coming to this class is rational. This is because the benefits of taking this class are possible to score a higher GPA, complete my prerequisite of social study for University. The opportunity costs are taking other class that is easier and less study time. From my own opinion that I think my decision is rational because I still need social study credit and I’m also interesting in this class more than other social study. Even though I may spend more time on study, but I think is worth it to do so.

        I will still make the same decisions even if I have full freedom to choice whatever I want.
