text: Different views help with more than just arguments; they can help with forming your own opinion too. Last year I took civics class and I didn't fully have an opinion formed on politics. I started watching the news and political debates and I formed my own opinions on current issues. If I had only watched one news program or only listened to one person's campaign then I wouldn't have known that there was a different way to see things and I would have never formed a good opinion.
