Choice Research


Alice in wonderland story and movie also introduces the issue of choices in the form
of (good and bad advice). The choices that she follows may put her in either a good 
or bad spot. 

"I give myself very good advice, 
But I very seldom follow it, 

That explains the trouble that I'm always in, 

Be patient, is very good advice, 
But the waiting makes me curious,

...

I should have know there'd be a price to pay, 

...
Will I ever learn to do the things I should? "

The story and movie focuses on advices and influences by other people such as how Alice was influenced by the white rabbit by following him into Wonderland. From there, Alice had to make choices that could either put her into more danger (getting her head chopped by the red queen/getting hooked on illegal drugs) or getting her out of the mess (leaving wonderland/drug scene). 

I feel like this issue is quite familiar in our world. Although it may not exactly be about drugs, our choices are often influenced by the people around us. This could be an adult, celebrity, family, friends, someone we respect etc.  We make our choices base on them and this could either turn out good or bad.
