My response to "The Right to Your Opinion" by Jaime Whyte

"The Right to Your Opinion" shows that everyone has the right to have their opinion and believe what they want to. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that their belief is correct. When talking to people about their opinion to something and you may not agree with them they just respond with "I'm entitled to my opinion". That ends the conversation right there. They didn't support their idea with evidence or even let you respond with your opinion. So if everyone has a right to their opinion, then why must people not let the other person express their opinion? They automatically won the argument. A factor to why they just end the conversation could be that maybe you would say a better point then them and they would end up losing the argument. I feel that in a culture where everyone is so caught up in wanting to be right and winning all the time, expressing our opinions and searching for the truth is hard. Everyone does have the right to their own opinion, however they should be open minded and at least hear what the other person has to say because they have a right to their opinion as well.
