==== Cognitive dissonance as it applies to Jake ====
In the case of Jake. Jake spent many years wishing he had been [[circumcised ]]he did tons of research on [[circumcision]], and then he purchased and received a non-therapeutic [[Adolescent and adult circumcision| circumcision]], and then there was the healing process. All these elaborate efforts and rituals add to the invested interest which must be defended. The more time spent on the product you are building, the research spent on an action you are about to perform, the more time in invest in such a matter, the more irreversible the decision, the more you over inflate the value of your end choice. And consequently the more you become predisposed to stronger feelings of cognitive dissonance. People like Jake will most likely experience permanent and strong feelings of cognitive dissonance. Jake is an extreme in all these categories.

Here is Jakes Jake's free choice paradigm right here. He wanted to be [[circumcised ]] and he had already made up his decision about the results before experiencing them. This is the very definition of the free thought paradigm. He had spent a life time embellishing his goal of being circumcised.
Dissonance is aroused when people are confronted with information that is inconsistent with their beliefs. If the dissonance is not reduced by changing one's belief, the dissonance can result in misperception mis-perception or rejection or refutation of the information, seeking support from others who share the beliefs, and attempting to persuade others to restore consonance.<ref name=Festinger1957/>

}}</ref> Some of these anonymous internet surveys and study's conclude that [[intact ]] men desired circumcision and that [[circumcised ]] men where were content. However, only one study he uses was actually published in a peer reviewed journal, and it found that people where incorrect about their own circumcision status at an alarming rate.<ref>{{REFjournal

Therefore It is irrational to project a preference for circumcision onto infant children based on such information.
Jake goes further to supply study's of adult men who underwent circumcision, some study participants reported an improvement,<refname="masood2005">{{REFjournal
