Inclined to forcefully state facts as incontrovertibly true. Dogmatic has always made me frown and smile at the same time. I dislike people who seem unchangeable in their views, but the “dog” in dogmatic makes me think of dogs barking without a purpose other than to remind you they’re here and not to be messed with. In looking up the definition of dogmatic, I found that its root is dogma, which brought to mind forceful politicians, preachers, and patriots, and their extreme ideals. Each day when I go walking, I pass signs that warn BEWARE OF DOG. So, after searching online for images of barking dogs, reworking and editing them, I created a composite that emphasized the fierce, unbending nature of dogs barking and added the warning BEWARE OF DOGMA.
