This means getting just your opinion known about an issue is not just enough to have a proper argument. Other peoples idea should also be taken into consideration, if not the whole idea of arguing, no matter what the topic is defeated.
My own view is that african international students are intelligent enough to blend in any society such as america and call it home. Though i concede that it may be tough on these students with respect to getting used to the system, i still maintain that diversity in education in america is upheld by the presence of the african international student in these institutions, many of which come from english speaking countries. For example, there are about a dozen countries in africa with english as their official language and are fast developing into westernized societies. Although some might object that if that is so, why do many sound funny when they speak or do things differently, i reply that our culture is different
Synthesis in my own opinion is the ability to draw or get ideas about a topic from various sources
