Suppose that you are part of Alpha Pi Omega, a service fraternity that is dedicated to doing good in your community. Recently, your chapter has been trying to decide on a new project for the upcoming year. There are three possibilities. You could relandscape the grounds of your local library, so people would have a nice place outdoors to read. You could also start a book drive to replace books lost in a fire at your local elementary school. Finally, you could work with Meals on Wheels in your county to deliver food to the elderly who can$$t go to the grocery store. You strongly feel that the best choice would be to run the book drive. In order to make it more likely that your chapter will pick that option, you talk with a number of other fraternity members and get them to agree with you. Luckily, you also find out that another chapter of your fraternity has done something similar, and they achieved grateful recognition from their community. So you bring this fact to the attention of all of your fellow fraternity members.

This is an example of decision making process, guided by $.$
