text: Asking for the opinions of others could help you form a general opinion. A general opinion lets you know how everyone feels about what you are talking about. If you go around and ask people if you should wear a green dress and the majority of people say no, it tells you that green is not the color you should wear. By knowing how others view a certain subject, it lets you know what to plan. Knowing what others are most likely going to think, you can use that to help you understand what your next course of action should be. The general opinion of what others think will let you know if something is working. If you begin a project in which people be rewarded with vegetables and over time people start to participate less and less, it lets you know that it is not a good solution. Getting a general opinion will let you know the views of others, if something is working, and how to plan accordingly.
