Opinions are opinions because every person has their own, opinion I mean. The question about them is; "Are they necessary?".
To most people expressing their opinion is an everyday thing completely normal, average. Other people find it hard (because they're being shy).
The necessity of opinions is most often said to be the part they play in the freedom of speech, and freedom in general. It is a metaphor for freedom apparently.
Another question is;"Do opinions limit the possibilities of your life?". If everyone was forced to have the same opinion about themselves, others, and life in general would your mind crumble away from lack of use? Can you really have a person who strongly believes in the new natzi agenda really teach the history of world war 2?
According to a talkshow I heard on the radio yesterday opinions don't matter. That of course is the persons own opinion which makes it rather pointless to say it in the first place.
An opinion even though persuasive can hardly be considered a fact though, which is why most educational professors prefer to use the word as it clearly states their doubts on wether the statement is true or false therefore leaving them to express their own opinions.
Some opinions I believe (opinion :P) are false though (wrong being such a harsh word) simply because though the opinion in question may be marvelous simply mind-rattling if the assertions on which it is based on are false the opinion is false.
There are people in this world who say; "There is no wrong opinion", but that's just theiropinion.
In the end no matter how long you think about it an opinion is simply only an opinion (a statement or thought about an issue or topic).

I think everyone has their own opinions, and they should be expressed... You cant reject others opinions, just because they are not the same as yours...........
ReplyDeleteI agree with Emma
ReplyDeleteYou could also think that all facts are just most common shared opinions. But that´s just my opinion. Very nice analysis on the word "persuasive".
ReplyDeleteOfcourse they are necessary, otherwise we wouldnt be communicating at all. Because nobody would care about what you have to say and if you wouldnt have an opinion you wouldnt have anything to say at all. Thats also just my opinion(,and probably a few others on this planet.)
ReplyDeleteI think that everyone can have their own opinions,but if you know that your opinion would hurt someone,why should you say it aloud. "If you have nothing good to say,don't say it!"
