The word opinion comes from Latin roots of the word “opinari” which means to form a judgment. So opinion is understood as the opinion or judgment that one has about something, someone or something questionable in particular. In other words, it is the way or way of judging on a specific matter. Other sources define opinion as the thought of an individual exposed on some subject. Another use of the word is to describe the concept or fame of an entity or thing.
In the field of philosophy, opinion or "doxa" according to Plato, the Greek philosopher follower of Socrates and teacher of Aristotle, is a partial, non-true, insufficient and incomplete knowledge that is based on perception, it refers to the sensible world, it is say to space-time things, to bodily entities, and, on the scale of knowledge. And the opinion is divided into two types of knowledge, first, we have the conjecture that it is the knowledge that it has through a judgment that is formed from incomplete data; and the belief that is the knowledge that we have of things when we observe and perceive them directly and create a judgment about them.
Finally, public opinion is also used to mention the judgment of a certain group or group of people about a particular issue; in the journalistic and political sphere it is used to reflect or capture what a country or a city thinks about a particular issue. And it is determined through interviews and surveys for each individual to give their opinion and express their thoughts on any subject.
