Ideas for our spring debates

Take some time to read the news summaries and responses on some of your classmates' blogs.  As ideas for issues that we could use for our debates come to mind, post them here.



A few things to remember:


* Issues suitable for debate need to have both a pro side and a con side.  Try to frame your ideas as a questions that set the issue up as something that can either be argued for or against.


* If the issue is going to lead to a good debate, there has to be enough people who would be willing to argue one side or the other.  So, if most people would have the same opinion on the issue, it's not going to work because there won't be anyone to argue against.




You can post as many ideas and comments as you can think of!
