Question

1. (05.01 lc)

following your beliefs and values when making decisions is important because (3 points)
if you dont, you can usually end up safe but unhealthy
if you dont, you will look cool in front of your friends
if you do, you will eliminate all harm to yourself or others
if you do, you can prevent unwanted problems

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• First option: Not following beliefs/values leading to "safe but unhealthy" is illogical as going against values is more likely to cause issues, not ensure safety.
• Second option: Not following values to "look cool" is against the purpose of values (they guide ethical/meaningful choices, not for peer approval).
• Third option: "Eliminate all harm" is too absolute; values help reduce harm but can't eliminate all (unforeseen events exist).
• Fourth option: Following values aligns decisions with personal ethics, reducing conflicts/problems that arise from acting against one's principles.

Answer:

D. if you do, you can prevent unwanted problems (assuming the last option is labeled D; if the options were labeled differently, adjust the identifier, but the text is "if you do, you can prevent unwanted problems")
