A fact is the truth, something that is typically used to inform us. An opinion is what someone thinks or what their point of view is, but it is not necessarily true. For example, if a man had a muscle spasm in his legs and accidentally jumped onto train tracks and got run over, someone might say, “Why would he commit suicide? What a selfish thing to do.” That would be an opinion because it was from someone’s point of view and was not true.

What are three current issues taking place around the world? a) Some people are very scared about the world ending in Others don’t believe it at all.
