<p>Prompt: Should all people's opinions be valued equally, or should only informed opinions be taken seriously?</p>
<p>Essay:</p>
<p>Opinions are always in our minds. However, not all opinions are uttered out. This implies that some opinions are not worthy to say and sometimes as senseless as jokes. Informed opinions, on the other hand, are pondered well before they are uttered. Thus, these opinions are rather reasonable and realistic which make them more valuable than any other opinion. There are literary evidences and personal evidences to support my thesis. </p>
<p>In Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes is the protagonist who is the very renowned consulting detective. His job as a consulting detective is unique from all others. Holmes has his work when the Scotland Yard and ordinary citizens are stupefied by mysteries that they could not solve and so come to consult him. Holmes merely listens from his clients' opinions and , in many cases, can solve the mysteries easily. We could see that clients' informed opinions are contemplated before they are given. These opinions, therefore, are invaluable. Had the clients told all frustrations that are in their minds, Holmes may not maintain his job. </p>
<p>In Shakespeare's Macbeth, informed opinions are very important. Macbeth the villain assassinates King Duncan so that he could get the throne. Lennox, the king's royal noble, is suspicious that Macbeth is the murderer and later made sure. Lennox, then, go to Malcom, the king's heir, and Macduff, the royal Thane, and informs them his knowledge. This message urges Malcom and Macduff to take revenge and finally defeat Macbeth. Scotland, at least, gains peace and the righteous ruler again. If Lennox did not inform his message, Scotland will still be ruled by Macbeth. Thus, an informed opinion is more essential than other opinions. </p>
<p>Another example is from my own experiences. At my school, I have many friends both boys and girls. Some girls I meet are not beautiful at all which makes me form opinions in my thought that they were unattractive. Nevertheless, I never utter these potentially precarious opinion because I know I would be in trouble. I speak only unoffensive things so I could form camaraderie with others. As a result, informed opinions, beside from logical, help people get along and therefore are essential. If we speak everything in our minds, the world will be in chaos. </p>
<p>From literary and personal evidences, we can see that informed opinions, being reasonable and creating harmony, are more essential than anything else. An old Thai saying goes, "we are masters of our words only before we say them."</p>
