▶ Your Answer :
An ongoing debate exists over whether
people can more obtain information about a person by observing the person’s
friends. Some people believe that the common quality between a person and the
friends give something a person has because a person spends more time on being
with them. However, contrary to the opinion, I maintain that determining a
person by being base on friends a person has is wrong. This is largely because
it is an indirect approach to a person. Moreover, many people are apt to being
attracted by those who is different from themselves.
To
begin with, it will be an indirect clue to know friends a person. As a result,
such a clue will mislead people to perceive a person. In my case, when I was in
high school, I regard a student who has violent friends as violent student.
Later on, I found the student very kind because I ask the student for the help
of solving some problems and then the student didn’t complain my asking and
helped me. As the example shows, as far as a person’s characteristics are
concerned, it is not bad to determine the person by what friends looks like.
Furthermore,
people are likely to be attracted by people that have what they do not have
qualities. So friends will offer the data that does not match the qualities a
person has. According to a study conducted by a team of many researchers at
Harvard University, more that 80% responded people said that they usually made
friends who have diverse backgrounds that are not similiary to them. The study
indicates that people have their friends with the goal of support their
drawbacks. As the study shows, due to
the incline to make their friends who are not analoguous to them, friends is
not a good way to understand a person.
To
summarize, the awareness of a person’s friends does not give a greater
opportunity to get information about a person on the grounds that it is not a
direct clue, which will mislead people. In addition, people are inclined to be
attracted by people who have different quality.
