Write a description of at least one real-life problem that has to be solved or decision that has to be made using good judgment, and obstacles encountered while making the decision(s) or solving the problem(s) (Again, these can be real examples or imagined, but they should clearly illustrate your understanding of the obstacles described.)
Include at least three key terms in your example(s):
belief perseverance, fixation, confirmation bias, functional fixedness, counterproductive heuristics, overconfidence, framing effect.
A brief description of how each of the obstacles was overcome, or how each could be overcome in the future?

A situation of real-life problems that have to be solved using good judgment and overcoming the obstacles can be described as the decision or dilemma I suffered for choosing a subject in a University.

When I had to decide on the course I would like to study, I immediately dropped the subject of Mass communication out of my mind. The course does not support my personality. Even though I loved to study current affairs and media, I thought a profession in the mass media field will require overconfidence and a pushy attitude.  I could not see how the course would fit me. The counselor I talked to, suggested that it was not the case, but my belief perseverance would not let me listen to other information.

In the end, I decided to go for Engineering, which I initially thought to be boring due to coding and all. For the first few months, I noticed only one thing about my studies. However, over time, I grew to like the path I had chosen and I do not regret it.

An example that I would give of a situation in which a real-life problem has to be solved or a decision has to be made using good judgement would be the case of deciding what to study in university:

"When I had to decide what I was going to study, I immediately put journalism out of my mind, as I believed it did not suit my personality. Even though I loved writing, I had always imagined that journalists had to be aggressive, overconfident and pushy, and that news only happened in other, more interesting places. I could not see how that could fit me. The school counselor I talked to kept telling me that this was not the case, but my belief perseverance would not let me listen to other information. In the end I decided to go for accounting. I believed that accounting was only about boring numbers, and for the first few months, I was responsible of confirmation bias, as that was the only thing I noticed about my studies. However, over time, I grew to like the path I had chosen, and I do not regret it."

i think the answer is true
