“Opinion” is a word that is used carelessly today.It is used
“Opinion” is a word that is used carelessly today.It is used to refer to matters of taste,belief,and judgment.This casual use would probably cause little confusion if people didn’t attach too much importance to opinion.Unfortunately,most to attach great importance to it.“I have as much right to my opinion as you to yours,” and “Everyone’s entitled to his opinion,” are common expressions.In fact,anyone who would challenge another’s opinion is likely to be branded intolerant.
Is that label accurate?Is it intolerant to challenge another’s opinion?It depends on what definition of opinion you have in mind.For example,you may ask a friend “What do you think of the new Ford cars?” And he may reply,“In my opinion,they’re ugly.” In this case,it would not only be intolerant to challenge his statement,but foolish.For it’s obvious that by opinion he means his personal preference,a matter of taste.And as the old saying goes,“It’s pointless to argue about matters of taste.”
