How is public opinion formed?

History
2 answers:
nignag [31]3 years ago

Answer and Explanation:

Well, how is any opinion formed?

Your own thoughts and experiences.

2. Marketing and media

3. Opinions/experiences of friends

4. Opinions/experiences of authorities (parents, teacher, governmental, legal, etc.)

Depending on the individual (and public opinion is simply a composite of individual opinions) the weight for each of the factors listed above differ.

When I was in my teens, the opinion of authorities was heavily weighed. I did not have sufficient experience to make good judgements.

In my 20s, my own thoughts and experiences (and those of my friends) was important, because I was gaining the experiences to formulated my own opinions.

Marketing really strives to form your opinion for you. If they can get you to believe that X is valuable, then they make more money. Warning: always listen to all sides. You do not want someone to control your opinion.

I am now in my 60s, and have sufficient experience to formulate my own opinions. I am hard to classify, because my personal experiences differ from anyone else’s.

American revolution, french revolution, and glorious revolution similarities
agasfer [191]

Answer:

The Glorious Revolution, the American Revolution, and the French Revolution were all rebellions against monarchs. The Revolution commenced as the the lower class of France despised the government who did nothing for them. The Glorious Revolution began similarly as they both wished to overthrow the king, but in this case, the Parliament was the main victim rather than the people. The American Revolution did lead to a democratic government, while the French revolution implemented many elements of democracy, such as universal civil and political rights.  Like the American Revolution, the Glorious Revolution involved substantial intervention by a foreign power: In the Glorious Revolution it was the Dutch, who sort of quietly invaded England, while in the American Revolution it was France which supported the American colonists.
