Question: How do rules affect our daily lives?

Sample Answer (The AREA technique):

Answer: Rules can affect our daily lives in various ways, such as influencing our decisions, behaviors, and interactions with others, and shaping our social and cultural identity.

Reason: Rules can provide guidance and structure to our lives, and can help us to achieve our goals, meet our obligations, and avoid risks and harms. They can also impact our relationships and roles in society, and can affect our rights and privileges as citizens or individuals.

Example: For instance, rules can affect our daily routines, such as waking up early, exercising, studying, or working, and can influence our choices of food, clothing, entertainment, or transportation. They can also impact our social norms and values, such as honesty, respect, equality, or justice, and can shape our attitudes and behaviors towards diversity, tolerance, or activism.

Alternative: Some people may experience rules as burdensome or frustrating, especially if they perceive them as unnecessary or unjustified. They may also face challenges in understanding or complying with rules, such as language barriers, cultural differences, or accessibility issues.
