What is It?
An informed opinion is a person’s belief, idea, or way of thinking about something based on information
gathered. This type of opinion is formed by gathering ideas from different points of view.
Example: Having a pet can improve your mood.
A stand is a person’s attitude towards a particular issue or opinion. A person’s stand may either support or
contradict an idea expressed in an informed opinion.
Example: Owning a pet can help reduce stress you are feeling amid the health crisis. According to studies,
spending time with your pet can trigger an increased level of oxytocin, also known as the "love hormone." Making a
stand means making a firm position in defense or opposition of an informed opinion. You need to support your
statement by providing evidence like proof or testimony based on facts.
Below is a guide in making a stand:

proofs or facts you have gathered must always be your bases in making a stand.
