People who are the most deeply committed to an idea or policy are also the most critical of it.

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.

 Ideas engender great school of thoughts, and in some cases egregious beliefs due to the steadfastness of individuals to their views or line of reasoning. In many cases people who propound various ideas are the least critical of them.

Obamacare is a very cogent evidence to bolster this asservation. President Obama has been a staunch supporter of this bill, because he believes in the idea to make healthcare affordable to the impecunious of the American society. And throughout the rambunctious politics that has followed the bill, Republicans have been the most critical of it; they feel such idea is antithetical to their party’s interest and ideals. This clearly affirms the fact authors of great ideas are in most cases the least critical of them.

While Obamacare is a more recent development, the history books remind us of the American Civil war that occurred because of Abrams Lincoln views on slavery. This president was against the slave trade business that was beneficial to the large plantations in the South. He too was commited to his goal of abolishing slavery in the US, because he believed the founding fathers had already objected to it in the Decleration of Independence. Also, at this important time in history those who were more critical of this noble idea where the leaders of the South not Lincoln; he supported this view and it led to the Civil War. Proponents of ideas are not the most critical of their ideas.

An egregious example to show that people are the least critical of their ideas would be Adolf Hitler. His views led to the second World War; his anti semitic beliefs and insatiable lust for world domination- as shown in is Mainz Kempf- was opposed by the Allied forces. He was staunchest supporter of his virulent ideas which led to the death of thousands of Jewish people.

While in fields like the sciences it is adviced that scholars should be critical of the logical methods they use in their experiments, the same can’t be said of other segments of society. Ideas rule the world and their proponents are their most important supporters.
