Differing Opinions
Topic: Differing Opinions
Let's face it, we're not going to agree with everyone about everything. There are going to be differences of opinion from time to time. This could be the fuel we need to learn more about our chosen topic. Use the differing views to your advantage.

If you would, for instance, decide to write an article. Differing opinions could be prefaced with such statement as "some people think" and "still others say." This approach would give our article more of a rounded outlook. What we have to remember is to treat each set of opinions equally. If one opinion angers you, now is not the time to show it.

I guess it depends on what we're trying to accomplish. If the anger you feel is shared by others, research it. Back up the feelings with facts. An example of something like this might be a protest you find in the news. Quite frankly, your own opinion is just that, an opinion. People will likely read your opinion, but what's to keep them reading?

A little research never hurt anybody. Research your subject and explore even the points that don't agree with your views. A good article can present multiple views.
