Gracia Gilreath, Chapter 3, Question 6

In this chapter, I particularly found the section about comparing the production of car emissions to eating ice cream very interesting. The section was short, but it made a valid point about how our personal behaviors and decisions can affect us and/or the world. If was choose to eat ice cream we should eat it every once in while, just as we should choose to drive our gas-guzzler truck sparingly because the ice cream causes heart disease and the car emissions cause global warming. In order to ensure that these decisions are made the cost should be raised. If the cost is raised on ice cream or gas, then people will only buy ice cream on some occasions and the truck will only be used when absolutely needed. Therefore, the risks that come with these decisions will decrease and will in turn benefit the most people in the long run.
