POV

     In this world there are many differing viewpoints on many topics. Every person has a viewpoint to share, and by sharing they could potentially alter the outlook of another thereby changing the way they look at the world. If someone for instance believes that eating meat is as bad as murder, it will certainly shape their views on many other issues as well. Ones social or economic position can greatly affect the way in which they perceive other issues, societies, and cultures.
     The ways in which people live their lives will determine their positions on certain subjects. If a person is born and raised in an upper class environment, he will certainly have differing opinions on certain subjects as one who was born and raised in a lower income bracket, and even from one who was born in one bracket and raised in another. That person may for example feel more strongly for not increasing the tax on the rich.
     But more influential on views is ones social position, something that is chosen a little after ones economic standing, although most likely influenced by. If one feels a certain way on the topic of one subject it will certainly influence them on other topics in relation to the first. A racist for instance will be against anything at all involving those he hates and members of PETA will hate everyone if they nibble on a chicken nugget.
     Opinions on broad topics greatly inform about how people feel on a lot of things. No matter how much one may aspire to keep an open mind they cannot completely. They will always bring a little of what they already think by way of their position on another adjacent topic they could already have strong feelings for. And in that way they may not be influenced at all by an opposing argument. The positions people take on a subject will directly determine how they approach a new topic of politics, culture, or social situations.
