Opinions can influence others opinions
Facts are knowledge that can not be changed
Facts are not created in any biased way
Facts should be used in meetings etc.
Detecting Facts And Opinions
Opinions will usually be leading you onto something like ‘Do you agree?’
Opinions usually only explain the good or bad points not both!
Facts will often have number figures/dates involved like ‘I was born in 1996’
By using biased opinions in your presentation it can lose audience as they know
more information may be biased during the rest of the presentation.
