Blog Post 2 Multiplicity of Goods

I see multiplicity of goods as an everyday thing. These are choices you have to make all the time. You have choices when you communicate and in this section of the chapter they talked about how each choice protects and promotes a certain underlying good. When put in certain predicaments you have to chose one two good choices. Even though both of these choices can be seen as good and you intend for the best with both of your choices, they can also be seen as bad from the person receiving. I feel that there must be a mutual understand of how you both communicate for the least miscommunication/misunderstanding. 

I'll use a similar example to the example in the book. If I was to go shopping with someone and they tried something on and ask for my opinion do I: 1)Be honest 2)Be nice/don't hurt their feelings. Both of these are good and its hard to pick between the two. In most situations I aim to be honest. If this was a best friend that I was communicating with I would be honest because we share that mutual understanding and they understand that my intention is to be honest and not rude. If I was just a friend but we're not super close or even a stranger the answer might be a little different because they might not share that same understanding as me. If it was a someone not close I would aim to be honest but sprinkle it a bit like, "I personally don't think its cute but if you like it, everyone dresses in their own way." 

Learning to pick what good you chose to communicate comes with age and experience I feel. It has to do with your morals. Even though both can be looked at as good, you have to chose what you feel is right. Your morals and experiences will direct you in which choice of good to pick.
