Controversial Topics Are Ready To GO!

I couldn't find a witty picture to accompany this, yet, so here you go.

Controversial Topics Master List

I genuinely believe everyone can find something to argue efficiently, effectively, and persuasively, using this list. However, should you choose to argue something else, here's the procedure...

1. Do what everyone else is doing: Create your list of top 3 research questions as a response to this blog post. USE YOUR REAL NAME, FOR PETE'S SAKE! If you have a question that is not on the master list, place an asterisk (*) at the end of the line.

2. Be prepared to explain why you wish to argue this. Don't just have emotional reasons, either - think about the ethical and logical reasons that you will have to develop before saying "yeah, I wanna argue that."

3. Make sure your email is put somewhere on your blog post.

4. I will send you a document to fill out. Email it back to me ASAP, and I will give you my final decision.

Based on availability of topics, first choice, and teacher's consideration, I do have the final say for what your topic is, but I will absolutely take your primary wishes and opinions into account.

Be fearless in your approach to this assignment, but also be willing to be proven wrong. That's when arguments often get interesting.

Can't wait to see what you want to research...

Peace,
Ms. B

Alykhan,
Can you tell me which stance you would take on the death penalty?

Ms. B

1/17/2013 05:50:02 am

Luca,
I am definitely leaning on yes, but I want to know more. Why do you want this particular argument? Can you give me some insight into what interests you about it? (Anisha...you too.)

Luca T.

1/18/2013 05:18:12 am

The reason that I am requesting this particular argument is because it really bothers me and kind of annoys me how people who are against abortion just expect everyone to be of the same opinion as them. Now, I know that the majority of the population is against abortion, but the beliefs of that of a group of people should not be forced upon others, especially in such an important, life-changing decision. Other than that, the thing that bothers me even more is that the decision of aborting a child does not fall to the mother, but to some old, fat guys who will never know what it's like to be pregnant. The decision to abort a child should solely be the mother's and father's decision, and taking that away is almost like taking away peoples basic freedoms. The only difference here is that it's the freedom to have or not have a child. I want people to have this freedom so that they may make that life-changing decision for themselves. Of course, I also recognize that this is a very controversial and looked down upon stance that I have taken on this topic, but I want to see how many people (if any) I can get to understand my reasoning.

Uhm...I'm not going to write a paragraph like Luca did....hahha but I don't think that abortion is right. You are killing what could be a living being. If you didnt want the child...just give birth and put it off on adoption..but absolutely dont kill it. I know Luca's probably gonna beat me at this...but I want to give it a try..I think I have in mind what I want to make this paper in to. :)

Marwan M.

1/15/2013 06:24:19 am

I can't decide which one to pick. Would it be wrong to ask you to pick one for me? (If you do pick one for me can you make it something you think I'll be able to argue?)

Anisha :)

1/15/2013 06:53:15 am

Hey hey hey Ms. B :) I WANT TO DO THE CON OF ABORTION! SO PLEAAAAAASE GIVE IT TO ME. :)

Marwan,
It's obviously not on the list, but what about if you came up with an interesting research question involving the Israeli/Palestinian conflict?

look at the comment

1/18/2013 03:41:16 pm

Gabrielle Humphrey

This is completely random and probably late...but MARWAN WHOEVER YOU ARE, I AGREE WITH MS. BELLON. Last year I did a research paper and world conflict video assignment on the Israeli/ Palestinian conflict and it's really interesting~

Marwan Madi

1/22/2013 12:21:28 pm

ok, could i talk about how palestine should have an independent state and not israel because israel was set up for jews (on a religous base), and when people say palestine it refers to including all religions (it is considered the "holy land" after all...). I could talk about how in the UN resolutions they wanted to split palestine into an independent state for jews and one for arabs, the problem with that being that judaism is a religion not a nationality and that arabs can be jews as well as christians and muslims.

srry i didn't put my email its [email protected] and its this not his

Ms. B

1/17/2013 05:29:14 am

Debbie,
I think you would have to do more research and come up with a question. Right now, it might be that you're researching the death penalty or torture instead. Eating disorders are arguably a health disorder, but I don't know about laws governing them.

Debbie Nehikhuere

1/17/2013 08:36:35 am

I will do death penalty (con) And my question is, Is the death penalty, in case really, the only form of punishment that is extreme enough to give a person?

Debbie N.

1/17/2013 08:39:34 am

any case , srry it didnt type

Debbie N.

1.) Gay Rights (Pro)
2.) Legalisation of Prostitution
3.) Eating Disorders

Kynnedi

1/17/2013 05:31:51 am

1. What would your research question be? (I am assuming, "Should it be legal in the US?" but I am assuming.)
2. Why gay marriage?
3. Do you think you can talk about it using legal precedent and facts, without giving too much of a pathos argument?

Kynnedi

1/17/2013 10:29:24 am

1.Yes, "Should it be legal in the US?" was the question I was going to use.
2.I picked gay marriage because I think its a topic that needs to be discussed especially since many people are quite closed-minded, and should see both sides of the coin.
3. Yes, there are many statistics and real-life events that are relevant my argument, without being too pathos-y.

Selina,
What is your research question and stance on all three topics?

Selina John

1/19/2013 08:16:48 am

1) Single-Gender Education:
Males and females are said to have different learning skills, but does that mean we should separate the different sexes into single- sex schools? (pro)

2)Genetics/ Ethics:
Scientists say that stem cells are the key to cures of many diseases, but should they be allowed to take on this research and allow human embryos to be destroyed for this cause?(con)

3) National ID Cards:
With the Europeans already using National ID Cards for security, should the United States have this system to become a safer country, or will this take away the freedom people were given as a citizen of America?(pro)

** I would like to have your opinion as well which topic you think I should research about. I'm stuck with which one to pick they are all pretty good.

Suhrin Whang.

1/20/2013 05:09:24 am

1. Immigration : Should the immigration policies of the United States be more relaxed or more restrictive? - I think they should be more relaxed.

2. Death Penalty : Is the death penalty an effective form of punishment? - I think death penalty is not an effective form of punishment.

3. Child Labor Laws : Should children be allowed to work prior to age 18? - Yes, children under the age of 18 should be allowed to work.

Just wondering, do we have to be fully on one side of the argument? Can we be somewhat neutral? Also I flip my #2 and #3. I think I would have more to say for Death Penalty than for Child Labor Laws.

Ms. B

Noah, I am fairly sure, but I don't want to assume...

Can you please clarify your research question and stance for all three topics?

Noah Lee

1/18/2013 08:03:07 am

1) Abstinence v. Comprehensive (changing it a bit after watching a couple documentaries) - I would argue for public schools to offer comprehensive sex education.
2) U.S Tax System - What we have is alright but could be better by upping the scale via income levels and other economic situations.
3) Health Care - Universal health care with policies like those of Austria.

1. Abortion
2. Is there a God?
3. The Electoral College

Ms. B

1/17/2013 05:38:24 am

Madison,
First, I need to know what your research question and stance is for all three topics.

Next, the first two topics can be considered extremely touchy. You listed abortion first. Please explain why you want this topic and how you would begin to defend it.

madison mcclendon

1/21/2013 03:14:06 am

1. (con) SHould abortion be legal in the U.S?
2. (pro) Is there a God?
3. (pro) Should the Electoral College be removed form the voting process?

And on the topic of abortion, I want to write on the subject because I have heard so many stories of women who got abortions and it became their biggest regret in life. Also, I believe that "a life is a life, no matter how small" and that we have a right to fight for the people who have no voice. I would begin defending my topic by describing the logistics of abortion, the process and the effects on the mother and child. Then I would discuss specific cases of women who had abortions and their views on the practice before and after. I'll also include a detailed explanation of a child's development, as well as an argument on the sheer ethics of the situation. As in, what right does one person have to decide whether another has a right to live? I'll probably touch on the unalienable rights we're suppose to have as humans as ordained by the U.S Constitution.

P.S sorry it took so long to respond Ms. Bellon!

1) abortion:should one allow the termination of pregnancy?
I feel this topic is one of importance. Abortion is one of the most contentious dilemmas faced in modern societies. Many say that making abortion illegal is stripping the rights of a mother. On the other hand, others argue that the life of an unborn baby should not be terminated because they too also have a right to live. There are also other factors to this issue such as instances of rape and incest. Under these circumstances, abortion might be considered to be necessary. Either way, I believe the decision is solely up to the mother and father of the unborn child. Women are more than capable of making their own decisions about their bodies and they deserve to choose what they deem best for them.
2) Gay marriage: should citizens of the United States be granted the right to marry a person of the same sex?
I believe that there is nothing wrong with allowing people of the same sex to marry each other. NOTHING in the constitution says this is unjust or wrong about allowing gay marriage. Wasn't America made so that people could achieve their dreams and seek freedom and equality? Straight couples who love each other have the right to marry, so why not gay couples. This here is not equality at all, but the complete opposite. Is gay marriage simply prevented because it is not looked upon as normal, or because of the negative prejudices towards this idea of two people of the same sex who love each other marry, or because it is against the Christian faith? These are not valid arguments, but these are reasons why people say gay marriage should not be allowed.
3) Education access: Should college education be a right or privilege.
I believe college education should be a privilege

Pranidhi,
Please give me the research questions and your stance for all three topics you have chosen.

Also, why abortion? What is your interest in the subject, and why do you feel compelled to research/argue this?

Pranidhi Dadhaniya

1/18/2013 10:19:20 am

1. Abortion - Is it always morally incorrect to resort to abortion?
I feel compelled to argue this particular topic because as many things, it does not reside in either black or white, which is a very common misconception. I feel this is an extremely important topic to discuss because it deals with justice and giving every person their fair due. It's so commonly argued that rights of the mother are taken away in illegalizing abortion, however what is being done in legalizing abortion? The most basic freedom, the right to live is taken from an unborn child. However, at the same time, it doesn't end there. The fact of the matter is that circumstances occur in which abortion is necessary, such as in the matter of rape or when a pregnancy is endangering the life of the mother. In both circumstances, abortion is necessary to protect the mother. If we are trying to protect the life of an unborn child, we need to put equal emphasis on protecting the life of the mother. Basically, I want to try to make people that are holding a single opinion on the matter that this is not a matter with a single answer.

2. Embryonic stem cell research - Is it morally correct to continue with embryonic stem cell research? Against

3. Assisted Suicide - Is assisted suicide morally correct? For

Hey Mrs. Bellon. I know I am late but better late than never right? haha.

So I wanted to do a topic on gender equality. But the one i wanted to do was not present. I was thinking about women getting equal pay. It really intrigued me when you said that a woman gets $.88 for every $1 a man gets. I need help with the initial question but i think I could make a good arguement.

Thanks Ariel
