I   don’t think that anyone likes to be wrong or make mistakes. Sometimes when you make a mistake and someone corrects you you may feel personally attacked and maybe even become angry at that person. A person might have some beliefs or things that they believed were true all their life so when they are told they were always wrong they might become sad or even depressed. People especially in my age don’t want to be wrong because when we write a test we want to be right in every question we are asked and mistakes can lead to a bad grade.

Why do most people root for the underdog? An underdog is someone who is in a disadvantage or someone who is less likely to accomplish their goal such as winning a race or beating someone in a game. Favorites are people that have likely more experience or are overall better at something, so they usually have a bigger chance to win. People like to root for the underdog because it’s something new and more surprising if the underdog wins. That means that it’s more fun to watch the underdog win than watch the favorite win again. Sometimes people bet for example on horses and the horses that are worse in racing have a better money multiplier so if they win the person that bet on the underdog will get a lot more money than a person that bet on the favorite.
