Some people think that it is better to choose friends who always have the same opinion as them. Others believe it is good to have friends who sometimes disagree with you. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Friends are an integral part of our life. According to

one

school of thought, friends that have similar views about different things should be selected while others say, mates that can disagree at times should be chosen. In

this

essay I would like to discuss

both

the sides and present my own opinion with relevant examples. On

one

hand, it is better to have friends that have opinion same as ours as it means that

both

the friends have same the same kind of thought process and beliefs.

This

also

means that there will be less arguments among friends, which in turn leads to less fights.

For instance

, if

one

mate believes that girls should not be allowed to go out all alone at nighttime and another friend agrees or approves it, that means

both

have the same thinking that girls are weaker and are not able to handle things on their own.

On the other hand

, when friends are of different opinions,

then

it might lead to arguments and disagreements, but eventually it will be a healthy

one

. It will help to improve the scope of

one

's knowledge and will

also

help to rectify the faults.

For example

, if a person believes that usage of computers these days have actually improved the capabilities of people and

instead

of simply approving the views, the other friend can explain the disadvantages of using computers nowadays,

then

both

of them can understand the pros and cons of using computers. Eventually, it can be concluded that

although

friends having the same views lead to no arguments or less fights, I personally believe that it is better to have mates of different ideologies that can actually help in improving the way we look and perceive about various things around us. It

also

helps to increase our knowledge about different topics around the world.
