Discussing Controversial Issues

Where do you stand on important social, political, and economic issues of the day? Your opinions on the issues are the focus of this course. Each class will consist of different issues. A professional video debate by opposing experts will be viewed in short segments followed by discussion. The facilitator does not take sides on the issues; however, students are encouraged to express their views. At the beginning of our class, a vote is taken to see which side is more favored. At the end, another vote is taken to see if any votes have changed.
