1. ESSAY PROMPT
Inconsistency is commonly thought to be an
undesirable personality trait, and inconsistent people
are viewed as indecisive and weak willed. On the other
hand, firm commitment to an idea or plan of action is
associated with personal and intellectual strength,
stability, and honesty. Thus, once we have made a choice
or taken a stand, it is best not to change.
