Do you think people can really change someone else's opinion?!
Question: like someone that is really die hard aginst illegal immigration do you think anyone can ever change their mind? Or someone that is aginst a religion can something or someone really change someone elses opinion? In today's world you see a lot of peopel stuck in the same thought pattern and today's attitude is "well nothing will change them" but can someone change someone elses opinion or beliefs?

When opinions are changed it is usually through discussions.
There are a lot of factors which change opinions but the most effective ones usually involve a first hand experience with a situation, i.e. someone who doesn't believe in the death penalty may lose a loved one to a brutal murder, someone who doesn't believe in owning a gun gets beaten and robbed in their own home.
There are many of us who are against "illegal" immigration but readily support "legal" immigration. Maybe we just don't think people should break the law. If it's ok for people to cross the Mexican / U.S. border illegally shouldn't it be ok to cross any other border into the U.S. the same way? If it's ok to come into this country illegally shouldn't it be ok to drive as fast as you want, take things from a store and not pay for them, or commit other illegal activities?
What makes one law ok to break but not another?
Wouldn't it be better to work to change laws you feel are unjust in lieu of encouraging people to just ignore them?
on most issues no
Im a politicia we change opinions all the time.
probably not
sometimes yes
It depends on the person. If the person is receptive, then of course the person's going to be influenced. Some people are made of stone and they can't be convinced no matter what. Basically, you need to show a person how changing themselves will bring them what they really want, that's all.
Better to ask "Who convinced the masses that their individual efforts cannot achieve change?"
Rarely, it seems people only change their mind when their own lives are affected by the issues.
It is possible to change someone's opinion...it happens all the time. The key is, that you have to be able to "Prove" your opinion is more plausible than their opinion. Then you watch the light go on in their small, little minds and the world will never be the same...for them.
no that's naive to think you can.
Other people can be very influential or inspirational and cause a person to question their values. I think that's a good thing.
;)
I think u can change somebodys opinion
if u point out a good point or really just get into their head they will start to change their mind slowly
i think they will think about what u said and how it makes sense
eventually their opinion will change
Some people r really set in their own thoughts though so it wont work all the time because some people r really dedicated to their beliefs and i wouldnt want to change somebody like that because they r their own person and are loyal and care about that issue
You could if you are really persuasive but why would you want to do that? let people think what they want, it doesnt affect your world any
maybe a good debat would lighten them up but possibly not
Depends if the person has an open mind and wants to re-evaluate their own opinion objectively...then it is possible. Most people are lookin' for someone to argue with. Are not! Are too! Are not! You're fat! You're fatter! Children...
Yes! But you need a reasonable not emotional argument. Solid facts and examples, and be prepared for the questions you are going to get. Then it is possible to change or at least open minds . It's a little like being a teacher. Good question!
i think it all depends on the person and how strong his belief is.
If you understand why the person has these feelings that are more emotional than reason you can change their mind. There is no reasoning there is mostly emotions if you try to reason with them you will never win but if you try to understand what emotions are involved and present alternative emotions that contradict their belief then you will achieve your goal
no
