Hello, This is my very first essay. Do not be gently. Do comment and rate. Thank you. In any situation, progress requires discussion among people who have contrasting points of view. Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position. All modern discussions and assemblies, that discuss topics of great importance – economic welfare, education, etcetera are a gathering of literate people who have opposing views. As in, one party is in favor of the discussion and the other, contradicts the discussion. Such discussions are important for progress in any field. Progress always requires discussion among people who have contrasting or contradicting views. Firstly, the topic of discussion is screwtinized more throughly in such situation. Lets take a hypothetical example, a discussion on wheather genetically modified babies should be a “thing” or not. In a discussion of such great importance, the group in favor of the discussion would put forth their point. The opposing or contrasting group would put forth contradicting views and opinions, enforcing each group to rethink and research. This further leads to a better and deeper analysis and makes progress efficacious and painless. Furthermore, consider a discussion with people who have the same views and opinions. Everyone is happy! No one would bother analysing the points put forth to find flaws in the system. Lets consider the same example, genetically modified babies. If there are no contrasting view, the discussion ends quickly without any deterrence. The dicision may have been bad, but this will only be reflected in the future, when even healthy babies die due to mutations which were not analysed throughly before passing the bill. This can be totally prevented! Sometimes, this dichotomy of people can lead to fights and protests in the society. “Terrorism” is one such topic. Terrorists think of themselves working for a better cause and obeying the almighty in his plan for humanity. But, the society strongly disagrees with this view! The contrasting views cause friction between the two groups, costing innocent lives in the process. But these are only the extreme edge cases and are rare. To conclude, the opinions and view of a contrasting person makes you reanalyse and research with ardor, helping bring out the flaws that might have been accidently overlooked. The progress of any society is only possible with a dichotomy of people. --end-- Please do comment and inform me of what might be wrong. Thank you once again.
