we keep on meeting people. Some have the same thought process

while

others don’t. I agree with the fact that it's good to have different

opinions

among friends.

longer than any other

friendship

. As the individuals have been going to the same school and have similar activities, usually end up thinking alike.

This

is beneficial as it does not result in any conflicts among the friends.

For instance

, a recent survey conducted at a school revealed that the majority of children feel motivated , and have better concentration when they are among their group of friends with similar mindsets, rather than children of different mindsets.

On the contrary

, there is another section of individuals who support the fact that difference in opinion is essential and

hence

, helps in understanding other people's perspectives. The debate over a particular topic not only gives a wider scope to understand an opinion but

also

helps in maintaining a competitive

friendship

.

For example

, there are 80% of individuals have said out of their personal experience that they have different

opinions

from their fellow teammates

This

competitive conversation helps them think out of the box in all circumstances. To sum it up, despite all the

opinions

shared, I believe it is in an individual's personal interest to maintain the friendships they want.Personally, I believe that there should be a healthy and competitive difference in

opinions

rather than conflicts.
