The Right to Your Opinion

Notes
  • Claiming the right to our opinions doesn't get us closer to the truth.
  • By really knowing your rights you will soon discover that you don't really have the rights you think you have.
  • After hearing "You are entitled to your own opinion" so many times now. Its become hard to use any other reasonable argument to defend your opinion when someone else disagrees with it.
  • It's irrelevant to respond with your rights in an argument when another person is giving reasons for there disagreement on a topic. For example, our current president uses the phrase" fake news" when the news reports feedback or information back to the public.
  • It doesn't show who is right in the argument by just replaying " I'm entitled to my own opinion"
  • You have to earn the entitlement to your own opinion. Good evidence to back up your claim. 
  • Rights entail duties.
  • What must an individual do to respect the right?
  • Some people in our life believe that they are more intelligent or are higher then u because of there knowledge on certain topics.
  • Their opinion usually isn't true.
       Everyone is used to saying  " You are entitled to your opinion". I even at some point have said this when I have had a disagreement with friends. As I read the article " The Right To Your Opinion" it's clear that this statement is completely false. Saying these 6 words won't prove how your right in any reasonable argument. It will most likely show how the person that is giving a real reason to back up their argument is correct.  I do agree with the article when it said " You have to earn the entitlement to your opinion".
