The Great Debate Introduction


This week you will conduct research for an EPIC debate next week in your Thursday lab and revise statistical data for your own global issue.

Conclusion due tomorrow
Rough Draft worth 60 points!

Friday, February 19, 2016

Complete conclusion today

Complete your conclusion today. Summarize your main points again. Do not forget to emphasize that this is a global issue. Emphasize your hook (shocking fact) again, and give your audience a simple way to act on the issue to make a change.

Example conclusion for the marijuana debate:

     Overall, the world cannot put another drug legally in the hands of consumers if more than half risk addiction, mental health damage, and/or life-threatening consequences. In the event that marijuana is made legal, global drug trafficking would not disappear but lead to harder drugs, such as cocaine, heroin, or laced marijuana on a larger scale. Legal problems would not be reduced, but increased, and there would be more driving accidents and fatalities. More jobs will be lost and employers will be in more of a crisis to find reliable employees in a highly competitive global market. Ultimately, anyone can join the fight by going to calmusa.org and complete the brief Google form to get involved in the movement called “stop pot 2016”. If THC content in marijuana really has jumped from 4 to 30 percent since the 1980s, there is no time to waste.

THIS IS A ROUGH DRAFT! REVISE NEXT WEEK!
