Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
Experts seem to agree that people benefit from the increased number of choices available to them in
modern society. For instance, if consumers can decide from among a hundred breakfast cereals or
dozens of types of cell phones, they ought to be able to find the product that is best for them. But with
so many choices available, people can never be sure they chose the right thing. They agonize over
every choice.
Adapted from Gregg Easterbrook, The Progress Paradox
Assignment: Do people benefit more from having many choices or few choices? Plan and write an
essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and
examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations. (Possible topics to think

players to pass to.)
