This paper is not your traditional argumentative essay where you have a thesis statement and then spend your time trying to prove your point of view. The type of paper i have assigned you will allow you to explore a current day technological (or in some cases scientific) controversy from different points of view. You will have various topics to choose from and they are listed below. The reason it is called a controversy assignment is because the topic you will examine is one currently being argued about by different groups of people who can"t agree on anything. That means your responsibility is to figure out and describe the various arguments on either side of the debate.
