문화적 배경

Using 'essere di parere' instead of 'penso che' is a sign of 'educazione' (upbringing/manners) in Italian offices. In Italian universities, students are expected to use this phrase when discussing theories to show intellectual distance. Italian law and bureaucracy are famous for their complexity; 'essere di parere' is the standard way officials state their position. Italians love to discuss politics and philosophy. This phrase allows for 'dissenso garbato' (polite dissent).
