What are some real - life examples of how perceived cost impacts decision - making?

Sure. One real - life story is about a friend who was buying a new smartphone. The perceived cost wasn't just the price tag. He had to consider the cost of a good protective case and screen protector, which added to the overall perceived cost. Also, he thought about the potential cost of repairs in the future if the phone got damaged. So, even though the phone itself was within his budget, the additional items and potential future costs made him think twice before buying.

The warnings of science fiction can make us more cautious in real - life decision - making. For instance, when considering new technologies, we might think twice because of the warnings about technology going wrong in sci - fi. If a new form of energy is proposed, we might remember the sci - fi stories of energy disasters and demand more safety measures.

Author: The Whitest Crow The following is a detailed introduction of these novels: 1."Book of Troubled Times":"Book of Troubled Times" is a fantasy Jianghu novel with time travel, martial arts, and many female protagonists. It is still being serialised. The author's writing style was not bad. It inspired people and made them think and feel from the book. This book not only had a wonderful plot and character descriptions, but it also had in-depth thoughts on society, history, and other aspects. From the moment the Vermillion Bird came into contact with the main character, his personal impression of her had declined a little. However, for book lovers who liked many female leads, it was still worth watching. The young man carried a long saber on his shoulder and hung wine on his waist. He strode forward, but the Jianghu in his heart was vaguely visible. This made people think about the meaning and value of life. Turning a page in the book of troubled times, one could see that the world had been shattered after decades of rain in the Jianghu. Such a description made one feel extremely emotional. The author Ji Cha's talent and creative ability were amazing. His works showed the style of China, and the stories of talented scholars and beautiful women were moving. All in all, Book of Troubled Times was a book worth recommending to readers who liked fantasy stories. 2."Spirit Realm Traveler": On the first day of its release, it was ranked first on Qidian's monthly votes, bestsellers, characters, and trending works.

The book reviews were the most attractive part of the book. The stars were shining and the great gods gathered here. Once a new word appeared, the book friends would say everything they knew and learn a lot of new knowledge. The popularity of "Da Feng The Nightwatchman" could not be separated from the reviews of netizens. However, this problem still needed to be properly guided. An anonymous operator said that after a chapter was released one night, thousands of comments were deleted. In terms of creativity, the protagonist, Zhang Yuanqing, was a freshman in university. He accidentally received a mysterious gift from a good friend, a Spirit Realm access card, and thus began a bizarre "Spirit Realm" adventure. Spirit realm and reality were similar to a spirit realm world that combined reality and reality into reality, combining the "meta-universe" and science fiction. However, no one knew how far science fiction could go. In terms of writing style, this book was still mixed with suspense elements and supernatural elements. This kind of crime-solving writing method was very suitable for the rhythm of web novels. The world view of this book would be unfolded in a "game" mode, and the structure of the writing would adopt a two-line approach. The plot would be richer, and the plot logic would be more exquisite and rigorous. The description of daily life was his strength in selling newspapers. It was the foundation of his online novels and also his consistent creative feature. The group portraits in his books were vivid. Often, with a few sentences or even a sentence, the readers could quickly grasp a person's character. However, the shortcoming was that it was a little too much. In fact, writing skills were the foundation of the newspaper seller. It was mainly about daily life and character creation. As long as this was present, no matter what book he wrote, people would read it. He had already entered the middle stage, so he could take a look. 3.<<The Tang's Table>> The people of the world and the affairs of the world are just the dishes on the table of the Tang people.

The food that was finally served on the table was the food that most suited the stomach of the Tang people. Steaming, braising, stir-frying, stewing... There were many cooking methods in the kitchen. Whether it was Goguryeo, the Turks, Tubo, Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo, Tiele…or even whales, tigers, sharks, and hungry wolves, the Great Tang was a furnace that could cook them all into peerless delicacies… In addition to Li Zhi, Wu Wei, Zhangsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, and other peerless seasonings, there would always be one thing that you would never forget, regardless of color, fragrance, or taste. Yun Chu hoped that she would definitely have a seat at such a luxurious banquet! Now, the delicious food had been cooked. Yun Chu laid out the napkin, picked up the deer knife, and closed her eyes. She was ready to enjoy an unprecedented feast to satisfy her hungry stomach. 4."King of Familiars": 9 points Who would be the undisputed king of familiars in this new era?

Goldfinger was a dark blue system that could add points to attributes and skills. If he was not mistaken, he was a smurf, and his writing skills were relatively skilled. The world view was set better, and the various concepts and factions were richer. The timing of the introduction was also good, and there would not be a stiff feeling of changing maps. Currently, the main character was about to change maps and enter the official faction for the first time. The next part would be more difficult to write. It was very easy for the main character to lose the challenge because of his unparalleled strength. Hopefully, the author had written a good outline. 11."Beyond Time": Heaven and Earth are the guest houses of all living beings, and time is a passer-by from ancient times to the present.

Although he had only read a dozen chapters, the protagonist and supporting characters portrayed by the author were very vivid. Good people had their shortcomings, and bad people had their bright spots. It was not black or white. The protagonist was betrayed twice, but trust was not wrong. The mistake was to betray the person he trusted. Only a person with such a temperament could maintain his "pure heart." Immortal "Ring of Destiny" was a divine book written by the cuttlefish boss.
