- What Is definition of Opinion?
In general, an opinion is a subjective belief, and is the result of emotion
or interpretation of facts.
An opinion may be supported by an argument,
although people may draw opposing opinions from the same set of facts. Opinions
rarely change without new arguments being presented. It can be reasoned that one opinion is better supported
by the facts than another by analysing the supporting arguments. In casual use, the term opinion may be the result of a
person's perspective, understanding,
particular feelings, beliefs, and desires. It may refer to unsubstantiated
information, in contrast to knowledge and fact-based beliefs.
