世論 (Public Opinion)

      Public opinion. Is it really so important? Well, it can be, if one really want's to be. However those who need it to be important are those who might be wanting to get rid of it. The nature of this problem is starting to really get slippery, many want people to shut up and the newspaper that they wrote and listen to those words instead. It's sad that someone is doing this, trying to get rid of people's right to speak, or give an opinion. When someone wants another to keep their feelings to themselves, it makes me want to go and find them and give a good beating. Unfortunately, I'd be arrested for standing up for myself. If someone needs to change the nature of this, we need someone who is willing to write the truth about people who aren't celebrities. And writing about their lives full of lies. Our sources of public opinion obviously come from the general public, but they can come from our own selves as well. But what kind of sources? well there is protesting. But what kind of good does protesting really do? Nothing. Why? Because all the person really is doing is complaining about the situation, they really aren't doing anything. Complaining only drags out an argument for to long, if your going to protest, don't go walking around with signs saying things like, "Taxes are unfair!" or, "I need a safe place!" Things like this get word around, but just annoys the people you're protesting to. Instead people should straight up go to the person they really want to talk to. They should bring witnesses so that the other person won't give up so easily. Now, with that being said. Getting people riled up is a good thing, just don't have people protest on streets to much.

   Are there consequences with public opinion? Absolutely. Never think that your free speech is going to come without some form of a consequence, because it won't. A consequence could be that someone might call the police on you, another could be that you might have disagreement among your ranks and lose members. Even to those who trying to oppose public opinion, might have consequences in trying to disband your protest. You could return with even more numbers and ignore the police threats, or they might be successful and lose you entirely. Whatever the case, there are consequences on both sides of the coin.

   So once again. Is public opinion really important? Yes it can. As long as you don't abuse it, and as long as you believe that it really is important. Because giving a public opinion should always be important even to those who believe it should be dumped off somewhere, laid to rest. Give your opinion always, so that if someone came up to you and said to shut up, you will be able to tell them what you want to say even if they don't agree. Many people will not agree with your logic, even friends. But it is good to give advice and hear it at the same time, especially from friends. In the end, the will be there for you no matter what. After all, they'll probably be in that protest you made, alongside of you.
