Define The Word "Stubborn". Is It Good To Be Stubborn?

Stubborn: fixed or set in purpose or opinion; resolute. Being stubborn usually does not make you popular or liked, or fun to be around. Stubbornness is usually not okay. Usually people are fixed or set in a silly or bad purpose. This is when it isn’t okay. For example, when two people are fighting, the best thing for them to do is to compromise. But too often people are stubborn, and end up holding grudges and things like that. That is why the only time it is okay to be stubborn is when it is for a good cause; when people are fixed or set on something that actually makes sense. John Adams, who we are studying, was stubborn to write a Declaration of Independence. This led to us separating from England and becoming our own nation. Everyone should be stubborn at one point. But it is only okay to be stubborn when it is for a cause that is good and makes sense.
