2014 Indian General Election + Social media + Human nature

The run to 2014 Indian general election with all its arguments and counter arguments over social media, reveals an interesting human nature. The tendency to reject or embrace an idea or a political party based on the negative analysis(drawbacks) is stronger than the positive analysis(strengths). 
Meaning, the argument over negative points of a party/idea is substantial over the positive points, leading to the formation of the decision.
Do we observe or practice similar behavior while making critical decisions in our day to day life ? Rejecting based on what’s bad for you instead of embracing what’s good for you? If you look closely, they don’t mean the same because negative and positive points don’t really have a 1:1 proportionality most of the times.
