Taking A Stand

Week 7
 What I Need To Know
Expressing our opinion on a
certain issue is one of the toughest
things to do for there are times that
our ideas are in conflict with the
others.

However, it is our responsibility

to discern what to follow and what
to believe in.
 When you want to change people’s
points of view or to persuade people to a
particular action or behavior, your thoughts
have to be clarified and articulated honestly
and accurately and to consider the ideas of
others in a respectful and critical way.

We have to take a stand no matter how

small the issue is because by doing so,
it will bring change.

so results in incomparable transformation.
