Decision Making: Emotion vs. Reason

1. High Reason are choices that are made based off of logical conclusions. The somatic hypothesis is that we are often faced with decisions that involve lots of different alternatives. We usually try to choose the one that we think will be most beneficial to our well being.
2. Teenagers do not have as much myelin, as adults. The lack of the fatty white substance surrounding the brain, myelin, causes reactions and decisions to be made slower and are more difficult to make.
3. The cerebellum is not only involved in physical process but in mental decisions as well. Just as we can physically clumsy, we can be mentally clumsy too. 
4. The socialization of babies will affect their morals. Babies can be influenced based on who they are socialized with. By socializing babies in the same way, we can create a set of universal morals.
5. When making a decision and taking an action, there a few different ways to know if the benefits outweigh the costs. One is to think for a long time, not just making a rash decision. Another is to make a pros and cons list. I think that it does matter. Oftentimes, I will make decisions and then later regret that I acted on it.
