About This Guide

In writing a paper or preparing a speech on contemporary issues, you must examine both sides of the issue in order to make a well-informed and well-reasoned argument. The sources listed below will assist you in locating background information, overviews of a issue, pro and con arguments, and other materials for the issue you select.
