Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The answers should reflect your own thinking, yes, but to say that they are your 'opinion' suggests that there are no standards of right and wrong, adequacy or inadequacy that apply!. Not true: at a minimum, you have to adequately address the question, give reasons for your answers, and explain your position in a way that is understandable to a reasonably educated reader!. Below is a link to some guidelines by Shelly Kagan of the Yale Philosophy Department!. This may be more than you want to know, but take a look!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
