Actually, she really doesn't teach us much. Most of us don't have a Fairy Godmother to magically provide fabulous shoes. In real life, we have to make decisions about the things we want and need. Were Cinderella's shoes needs or wants? What do we do when we want to buy shoes? Is it wise to buy the first pair, without comparing the costs and benefits of other alternatives? Seriously? Although her Fairy Godmother claims the glass slippers are comfortable, I have my doubts. Think about all of the materials your shoes are made of. Which shoes are the most comfortable? Do you think glass slippers would be comfortable? Why or why not? Decision-making with Cinderella Poor Cinderella! She is always losing her shoe.
Open-ended Decision-making Who doesn't love a new pair of fabulous shoes? Use the PACED Decision Making Model to make an evidence-based decision about the best shoe for you. Conduct an online search. Find at least four alternatives. Consider the criteria that are important to you. For example, what is your budget? What are your style preferences? What about comfort? Rank the four different shoes based on your criteria. What are the costs and benefits of the different alternatives? What decision would you make based on the evidence?
