Exercise #1

Step 1:
You're writing mostly for the instructor.
I find this statement false. When writing, you want to write to whatever audience you feel led to write to. You get a topic you want to write about so you just go for it. When only writing for the instructor, I feel almost limited because some things may not pertain to him or her. By writing to a specific audience, you can elaborate more. They will feel more connected to what you are writing about because they can relate. Whereas the instructor will get some of it but might not necessarily relate. When I'm reading something that doesn't pertain to me, I get bored easily. As an instructor, you can try to relate to a piece of writing but nine times out of ten they are reading because they have to.

Step 2:
People are entitled to their own opinions, and no one opinion is better than another.
I find this statement true. An opinion is something that you think is right so no matter what people will always think theirs is better. When agreeing with someone who is arguing with someone else, you may think that but their opinion means just as much. An opinion is an opinion and no one is wrong.Everyone has different thoughts and everyone can think as they want. Everyone's brain thinks differently and it isn't fare to judge people by what they think.
