==Description==
An '''opinion''' is a subjective [[statement]] or [[thought]] about an issue or [[topic]], and is the result of [[emotion]] or [[interpretation]] of [[facts]]. An opinion may be supported by an [[argument]], although people may draw opposing opinions from the same set of [[facts]]. Opinions rarely [[change]] without new arguments being presented. However, it can be reasoned that one opinion is better supported by the facts than another by [[Analysis|analyzing]] the supporting arguments.
