Know-How Exchange : Student Questions

Which statement do you think is true? Why? How did you decide - based on your hunch or case studies? Is the statement universally true in all cultures? Why or why not? Is the statement true for both products, services, and belief systems? Why or why not?

Dear ckativu,

And? Is this a test? Multiple choice? What exactly are you getting at here? If you've got a question, ask a question, but if you ARE going to ask a question, make it an actual question.

Of the two statements above, which one do YOU think is more accurate, or effective, or relevant?

You need here to have both a position, AND an opinion because without either of these things all you've got is two statements and until you can add some element of inquiry and personal opinion, that's what they'll remain.

Put in some effort. Show some gumption. Give an opinion and do all of these things again and again and people will take you far more seriously.

Give your viewpoint a context and suddenly, it has form, substance, body, and weight.
