Pick a controversial topic with two distinct, arguable sides (marijuana legalization, abortion,
police reform, education reform, etc.). Using the library database, write an essay discussing the
issue. What major p
oints would someone who wants to learn about your topic need to know?
This may include things like general history, data and analysis, or public perception of your
issue. What specific evidence compels you? After you explain the issue, pick a side and argu
e for
it. What about the evidence you’ve discovered leads you to believe this? What are some possible
solutions to this issue?
