Opinion Analysis

Superior Essays
No matter what, someone somewhere seems to have an opinion with the need to voice it. Opinions are a tricky topic, although they may be intangible, people value them more than life itself. People automatically have an opinion whether it is “Whatever.”, or “My thoughts run along the lines of...” and so on and so forth. They can be told in many types of ways, they can be said as they want to help you with constructive criticism, or they can be unnecessary and no help whatsoever. Opinions are a needed thing and something cherished very much, but sometimes they can be cruel. People will lie about their thoughts towards you just for their entertainment, nevermind your sanity, they’re just looking for an amusing situation on their end.
Humanity has been going slowly downhill with their self confidence and their overall kindness to others, all because of opinions. There’s a saying that states, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” that quote has a lot of meaning that people choose to ignore. I’ve heard people spew out discouraging words to others as “opinions”, when in reality they were nothing less than a bully. People want to know the truth and other peoples input, but to a certain extent. Everyone needs to learn a few things along the line of decency. If you know that what you are about to

Its because how they are taught. Those videos and quizzes go right over their heads and they turn to the same excuse they’ve always used, “My opinion, my thoughts, I can speak it freely.”, even when it 's over how someone else looks or is. In fourth grade I took notice to something, not everyone 's opinion matters and not everyone who gave their opinion was my friend. When you’re younger you think everyone is your friend, and that all opinions matter, when neither of those things are

    Sometimes I wonder why, out of every city, town, and suburb in the entire country of the United States, my grandmother chose to move to Lynn, Massachusetts. A city otherwise rich in history, but unluckily dubbed over by an ingloriously annoying jingle, “Lynn, Lynn, city of sin, you’ll never come out the way you came in.” I heard it chanted through elementary school hallways, mocked by middle school kids, and hummed by high schoolers. You would think its omnipresence would keep away travelers, but, then again, my grandmother didn’t speak English. She came over from the Dominican Republic thirty-six years ago, with my mother and her five other kids.…

    Fine storytelling, no matter how short the story, can aid in teaching complex lessons in a simple manner. Some stories teach these lessons in the form of a theme through the use of symbolism. “Popular Mechanics” by Carver and “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Stetson are tales of grim relationship problems featuring symbolism to portray themes of everyday life. Both stories quickly reveal that life for the main characters is problematic. Both stories feature problems between two different couples, one being a marriage, the other being a mother and father.…

    Many people who lie do it to protect another person or to save a person from getting offended (160). Many would argue that no one has the right to decide for someone else whether or not they should be denied the truth because they may get offended. It may be considered evil to leave someone in the dark of something that could be completely life changing because, it they may not take it very well (161). No one would consider being polite to be immoral. If a person cannot stand to be around someone and pretends to be that person’s friend when they are around, that would be considered deceit.…

    Cuckoo's Nest Censorship

    Your apprehension over the subject matter of the novels being read in class is well founded and understandable. It is in the very nature of a parent to wish to protect his child, especially in the ever-impressionable teenage years, from “truculence,” “sexism,” and “antisocial ideas.” However, the novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, as well as every other novel read in an English class, not only has literary value, but is fundamental in exposing children to the realities of the world, harsh or benign. Censorship of the materials read and the topics of discussion in a public school can lead to a lethal condition in students known as ignorance, which, if left untreated, can breed highly uneducated and oblivious adults.…

    Standing up for what you believe in is a tough task, but you are capable of accomplishing it. It takes time and effort but if you believe in something it’s worth it.

    What would they do if someone expressed a hateful, racist attitude? Would they confront the person, walk away, or let it pass? How can students state their opinions in a way that does not make them look conceited or self-important? Can they really make a difference in society and the attitudes of those around them? Most people, presumably students, ignore or internalize offhand and offensive remarks as it typically ‘does not concern them’.…

    Critical Assessment of “Sentiments of the Nation,’ Chilpancingo, Mexico” Mexico had a hard time gaining independence around 1810-1815. The two men leading this struggle were Miguel Hidalgo and Jose Maria Morelos, both parish priests. Hidalgo was more reformed and quirky whereas Morelos was a little lack luster but had more respect from the community. Hidalgo made an insurrection in 1810 that expressed his opposition toward colonial government and the immigrant Spanish elite. Despite it declaring a rush for independence, he was still executed.…

    So, recently I read Deborah Tannen's 1994 essay "The Triumph of the Yell", in which she laments the deterioration of modern-day debate due to its over-combative nature. She argues that framing debates as a fight between opposing extremes obstructs the truth rather than bringing it to light. While I was reading it, I couldn't help but think of the anime fan community (as well as the gaming community, and the sad state of U.S. politics) and the "debates" that take place within it. Far too often, they turn into unintelligible battles of ad hominem attacks and self-serving logic, rather than anything of real substance. Much of this boils down to the idea that anyone who doesn't agree with you is either a "fanboy" or "elitist".…

    Humanity, nowadays, cares nothing for others, only for themselves due to their mentality that is to see only what influences them and believe it is the truth. Elie Wiesel once declared, “When human lives are endangered, when humans dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Where men or women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place- at that moment- become the center of the universe.” Today I am not responding as a student knowledgeable to the unfortunate events, but as a young person of the twenty-first century, Elie Wiesel is indeed correct.…

    you find telling the truth way more easier than it is to tell the lie or “sweet talk” your way out of it. Lies no matter how big or small are going to add up and get much more confusing in the end. When speaking out on the truth its half of most people’s instinct or in my cases it’s not, but after a while and you focus on not telling lies it becomes nearly too almost impossible to lie .Someone or something gives it away and they are left already knowing. Like for example if there was a surprise dinner for someone at work and the person you are throwing a surprise to ask what are you doing for the weekend you say I have this surprise dinner I have to go to and you were just being honest and everyone was trying to be secretive about. If you are an honest person most people will come to you about information or feedback.…
