TOPIC ONE
Censorship in the United States
My stance: There should be no form of censorship whatsoever in the U.S. on television, radio, etc.
Opposing stance: Explicit language, violence/gore, ideas, nudity should be censored so children and fragile minds are not able to view it.
Major points of contention:
- Freedom of speech
- Would kids be allowed to view/read it?
- How does this affect impressionable minds?
- Everything will go overboard since there are no restrictions
TOPIC TWO
High School & College Education
My stance: Students should only take the classes that they want to take/or that pertain to the major. I.e. if they want to study computer science, they do not need to take a Biology class, unless they want to.
Opposing stance: Students need a varied learning experience to become the complete individual.
Major points of contention:
- Will this increase the attendance in high school/college? Increase drop out rates?
- Are these classes really necessary?
- Will this close new pathways that would've been left open? (Student takes biology, changes major to biology)
- Increase in laziness? Is being uneducated a bad thing?
