I need advice!
First question is: Aren't oppinions the same as advice? Is an opinion just an indirect way of giving advice?
Second question:
I am considering a career in law as a defense attorney. My Xgirlfriend (XGF) said that defense attorneys cannot ethically do their job in the event that their client is in fact guilty if they know that their client is guilty.
She then said that it is incorrect for me, as a personal trainer, to give unsolicited advice to someone who is performing an exercise improperly(assuming that I know the correct exercise).
My XGF says that advice should only be given when asked for.
But she seems to think that a proactive approach is the only ethical solution to an obvious injustice.
My XGF thinks that the attorney example is somehow different from the exercise example. Is she right?
I feel like she has to be wrong since it is not possible to be proactive and wait for a solicitation for advice.

As an attorney you are hired to make a point according to the person who hired you's wishes. It is ethical because you are not hired to say what your client did, you are hired to prove a point that looks in the way of not guilty. Your fine, don't worry about it so much. opinions are kind of the same as advice i guess...?

An opinion is what you have to say about something, and it does not a fact. It is a conclusion drawn from non-scientific data.
Advice is a hint that you give people to make thier life better. advice is usually given based upon ones opinions.
Why would you not correct someone who is doing an exercise improperly? Go ahead and correct them, by doing so you are helping them. Totally ethical and stuff.
And yes you can be an attorney and be ethical if you know your client is guilty. It is just a matter of "how" you present your case.
you should give advice to who-ever needs it.
Dude, thier is a reason you dumped that chic. (its obvious) Move on with your life and erase that R*** she put into your head.

an opinion is what you would do if you were in that position.
advice is an opinion given when asked for.

Dear advice,
Letrs a start at one shall we. Guilty is a matter of factand opinion, if someone kills some one just to kill them and they are found not guilty, than yes they are guilty for they committed the crime, as a defense attorney weather of not they are guilty isn't the point, the point is that they need representation to help protect them. So you knowing your client is guilty has nothin to do if others will think the same way, and not everyone will. So being guily is based on true facts (if you find them or not, it you don't find real facts then its up to you to decide what you think).
Now for the second question. Well if you know the correct way to do an exercise than you as a personal trainer know the outcome of doing it the wrong way (pains and no improvement, and whatever else happens). So giving advice is not wrong to give because a person would be more thankful in the end, have you ever told someone they were doing an exercise wrong, and when they got mad went back to the old way after you showed them a right way, I would think very unlikly, they are just mad because they have been doing it wrong.
Third. Well depends on the point you are making. But to me you are trying to help someone either way, with being a defense lawyer your job is to help prove they aren't guilty, and for exercise you are trying to help someone reach their goals. Each of the two require loads of advice.
I believe advice should be given to people if they are being set up for a big failure or you yourself know the feeling of an outcome they are about to do. But its not the advice you should be worried about giving it should be the situation and the manner in which you give it.
Hope this helps,

I would say opinions are somewhat like advice, because its what someone says personally, in their opinion they are trying to help you, what they would do in situations. So I guess your right an opinion is just an indirect way of giving advice, but its still personal.
I agree with you about your exgirlfriend being wrong because you're right, if you know that the exercise may be doing them some harm, than your imput on correcting it, is helpful to them. Its also their choice to them, wether they follow through or not, but if theres any harm to them, of course you will help them. Right?
