Essential Question to the Wave

1. How does the need to belong and be accepted by others cloud our judgment and keep people from making good choices?

I think that being with other clouds is good because like many people say "The more the merrier" and its good to have a lot of friends because if you are by yourself it would suck. Also, it is good to make good choices because if you don't lots of bad things could happen.
