Does imposing you opinion if other ignore you is good thing?

For example, during a conversation, if there is a lot of interlocutors, and others ignore you and treat like air, is it worth trying to shout down the other and take the initiative.

I mean situations such as conferences, political meetings or family reunions?

If you're in a situation where you need to say something and other people definitely need to hear it, absolutely be perceived as rude or annoying and make sure they listen to you and get the information you're trying to tell them. But if you're just in a social/less formal situation where you want to contribute but it's not critical...I don't know. It's a choice. Obviously, they shouldn't be ignoring you, but I guess it's less clear.

...just means that they're being fundamentalist (the belief that there are no errors in their beliefs).

I agree with sweetperfume to a point.

If that person needs to hear what you're saying, say it. Don't be rude, though. Apologise if you're interrupting a conversation and then state your point clearly.

To your comment of is it worth "shouting down" a person just to get a point across... unless it's very important and they absolutely need to hear your point, I would say no. Just let it slide. Sometimes you may need to shout to get your point across but for situations that you described, if they're not listening to you in the first place, shouting will probably just make things worse. Engage in conversations/discussions where your opinion will be treated respectfully.
