About this pattern

Explanation

This is the passive-perception pattern used to say that something is believed or regarded in a certain way by people. It often reports beliefs, opinions, or common assumptions about a situation, person, or thing. The speaker is conveying that the stated idea is what people generally think, not a fact they are asserting themselves. It is common in discussions, analysis, and reporting of general consensus or widely held views.
