<p>Prompt:Is the opinion of the majority always right?</p>

<p>Opinion of the majority is always crucial. A large number of people don’t become judgmental without any substantial cause or evidence. Several examples from history and current events support this assertion.</p>

<p>In 1942, when Mahatma Gandhi launched ‘Quit India Movement’ against the British, over 1 billion people followed him. This movement eventually led to India’s freedom in 1947. Had Gandhiji started this movement alone or with the support of minority, would he/they be successful? And clearly, the cause of a country’s freedom was a noble one.</p>

<p>Another example which reinforces the stand is of the corruption scams which were discovered in recent days. The mob asked for a change, for a law, for Lokpal Bill. The application of Lokpal Bill was an arduous job because of corrupt ministers’ in-charge; but on its application, the level of corruption has reduced considerably.</p>

<p>Moreover, the removal of racism from South Africa is also an epitome of mob being on the right side Nelson Mandela was backed by millions of natives and hence succeeded.</p>

<p>Therefore, as the examples highlight, both in the history and current scenario, majority has always taken a wise decision. No doubt there are people who criticize the decision, but they are always on the minority side.</p>

<p>I take it you are serious with this point of view? </p>

<p>There is no nuance here. There are millions of examples in history that dispute what you have written. </p>

<p>I’m not going through all this, but your use of the semi-colon in the third paragraph is incorrect. Also, never use a slash in a formal written sentence. “Would he or they.”</p>

<p>“majority has always taken a wise decision” - Only if Hitler and the Nazis can rewrite the history.</p>

<p>I agree that it is much harder to defend the affirmative side of this argument because of the extreme word “always”; however, the SAT graders are not supposed to judge your essay on the side you chose, so it is perfectly acceptable to choose that side. That said, the OP seemed to sliohtly bend the prompt, which could affect the score.</p>

<p>My English teachers have always said asking a question in an essay is never the way to go. (Your Gandhi paragraph)
I think the affirmative is almost impossible to really support due to the <em>ALWAYS</em>.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Your first two sentences are very poorly written. What are you trying to say?</p>

<p>Also, the opinion of the majority usually is ill-informed. Most people don’t have the time or inclination to study issues of public policy, and many of them don’t have the ability to make intelligent choices.</p>

<p>Redpoint.</p>

<p>Your point is irrelevant.
Who cares if history dispute OP’s position? He’s writing to defend his position. All SAT essays can be argued and each side has a prolific amount of evidence to support it. </p>

<p>To the OP: Use 2 examples and fully expand on those two. Your evidence/support/analysis for your three examples are lacking.</p>
