Issue #1:
(a) Marriage Equality
(b) This issue is a very controversial and touchy subject to some people. The reasons behind this are that there are religious values brought up, which is controversial within itself, and many people have very strong, unyielding opinions on the subject.
(c) My current stance on the issue is that if two people love each other, they should be able to get married. So I am a supporter because I don’t think gay relationships are any different fundamentally than the relationships you and I may be in.
(d) I would like to learn the reasons that make some people so passionately against this issue and I’d like to research how successful gay marriages are in comparison to straight.
Issue #2:
(a) Are students more successful in a single sex learning environment?
(b) It is controversial because it is difficult to prove if one is definitely better than the other and people have strong opinions about the implications of such learning environments.
(c) I think that co-ed schools are more socially beneficial than single sex schools and I’m not sure any potential educational advantages of single sex education cancel out the social implications.
(d) I would like to learn what arguers for single sex education point to in order to advance their argument and if people who are raised through this type of education are statistically smarter or have more opportunities than those who don’t.
Issue #3:
(a) Does violence in video games lead to violent behavior in the real world?
(b) This issue is controversial because a lot of parents hate to see their kids performing this type of behavior virtually and they fear it will translate into their kids’ lives. However, it is extremely unlikely that those who play video games will be willing to give up the violence in them for the sake of their mental health.
(c) I think that the violence in video games has the potential to influence some people who play them, however I don’t think it affects the majority. It likely only affects those who already have mental issues.
(d) I would like to learn about the different sides of this argument and if there is actual evidence that video game violence leads to psychological issues.
