the phrase it's raining cats and dogs. The phrase is merely expressing the intensity or conception of the rain, this phrase is not meant to be taken literal. Therefore, an opinion should be expressed through the corroboration of facts, evidence, and ethics.
As social media has become more involved in the everyday lives of all adolescents recently, opinions have been expressed through cyber-bullying, cyber-attacks, even just individuals who give statements in which should be kept to oneself. Recently, an individual who was merely an acquaintance, posted onto social media a statement that many found abominable, and overall disagreeable. The individual posted that if she were pregnant and found the child to be diagnosed with Down's Syndrome, the individual pregnant would terminate the pregnancy in all to avoid the effects of caring for the child. As Rouner mentioned in the article “Reality does not care about your feelings”, the individual who wrote this shaped her form of the opinion off of brief information and response of everyone has their own opinions, and how having personal opinions does not affect those around. In this poor argument, the individual who posted this statement used rather personal infliction and reasoning rather than actual facts involved with the issue. Opinion is a strong aspect in our generation, in which opinions are made up of a plethora of reasons, and those reasons are the structure of an argument in an opinion.
