Choice+by+Gavri+S.

In Jonas's world, choice is eliminated. At first, you would think this is a bad thing, but if you look at history, choice can be very dangerous. Choices of what to believe, who to follow, the choice to only do whats in your best interest, choices like these can and have led to many tragedies throughout time. One example of a bad choice people have made is the holocaust. Not only did Hitler choose that to gain power, he has to kill all the Jews, but people chose to follow him resulting in 11 million murders. Not only can choice ruin other peoples lives, but a bad decision can destroy your own. The choice to do drugs, for example, or to drink too much. Things like that can be very dangerous to you and everyone around you. Sometimes however, people don't hhave a choice, they are forced into doing something. If a person is starving and living on the street, even though it's wrong they have to steal in order to stay alive. Even though people can make bad decisions, choice is also important in our world. Without choice, we would not be individuals, we wouldn't be able to see what is good and bad. If whoever makes decisions for us decided to do something bad, we wouldn't know. Even though it can be dangerous, choice is what makes things unique and pretty; it makes us individuals, who we are.
