Opinion

Truth vs. opinion vs. falsehood According to Vauvenargues, “We must not judge men by what they do not know, but by what they know and by the way they know it.” Opinion is a statement based solely on the thinking, perception and judgment of man.

These characters would be characters they personally admire, chosen on their own, and their decisions and analysis would be their own opinion.

And, although I agree with her, and was shaken by what she declared, I can totally see the points and concerns that many Americans have in regards to deportation. The common belief which Americans feel a tendency to believe is also Donald Trump’s belief, who is known to be one of the most controversial bigots (opinion) when it comes to the “border wars,” is that illegal immigrants…
