Freedom Of Choice

Being responsible for your own decision-making means that for every decision you make, you are the one who is to blame or be praise for the outcome. Knowing that we as Americans live in a "free world" and that at the age of eighteen we are responsible for every decision, I think that this has a good and bad side to it. For example, a good side can be the decision of pursuing a higher education no matter the class you were born in. A bad side to being able to make your own decisions is that if you make a mistake like running over person at their fault, you have to take responsibility and accept the punishment. However, opportunities like pursuing a higher education and reaching you dream job are possible if you have the right mentality to accept some failure and take responsibility for whatever your path leads you to. Personally i like being able to make mine own decisions knowing that I will be responsible for all my actions.
