In our reading we learned about the six steps by which good decisions are made: 1) define the problem, 2) identify the criteria, 3) weigh all the criteria based on certain preferences, 4) become aware of the potential alternatives, 5) assess each alternative compared to the criteria, 6) and calculate and choose the best alternative for the situation. Based on these steps, walk the reader through a recent decision you had to make, and clearly identify each of the steps. What was the outcome of your decision?

Your response should be at least two pages in length and written in standard essay form following APA guidelines. Remember to utilize in-text citations and list your sources at the end of the essay. Document all your sources, including your textbook.
