I have been getting  Analog SF&F magazine for many years.When I saw your question, the first thing I thought of was Science Fiction being not-true stories based on some concept of science - like space travel, aliens, other worlds, robots, etc. \nI thought of non-science fiction as horror - monsters, many of Stephen King's stories,  or Fantasy  - fairies,  trolls,\ndragons - like Anne Mc Caffery's books, or even Fairy Tales  - like the Brothers Grimm.\nThe neat thing about Science Fiction is that much of what was Science Fiction 20 years ago, is now Science Fact.\nSome Science Fiction writers are  neuclear physicists,\nsome work for Nasa (I guess they get to see plans for all kinds of new things way ahead of time!) One writer even designed one of the Mars rovers.  We will never leave this planet in my lifetime, so science fiction is the only way I get to 'see' other worlds,  and other species.\nGood Luck with your debate!

I think you have your thesis: The subject has two sides. Maybe try something like: Gastric bypass surgery is a controversial technique with both benefits and risks.

after you read the question, take a minute (literally, not more) to write a quick outline of your essay on some scrap paper or the margin- that way you'll know where you want to go with your essay, and you'll be able to leave out time-consuming stuff that doesn't add to your argument.  Beyond that, practice keeping an eye on the clock.\n\nWorked for me in AP history/government. Good luck.

I had to do one awhile ago.  I did mine on the political cartoons and opinions during World War 2.  You can try it if you want.  It's kind of simple.  Dr. Seuss was a "huge" political cartoonist.  You can talk about opiniions about events in the cartoons and how they were impacts at the time.

introduction- sound engaging. convince your reader that your topic is an issue thats worth considering. clearly and strongly state your opinion. and try not to use a passive voice when doing this.\n\nbody paragraphs- give reasons to support your opinion. try to appeal to your audience. you can appeal to common sense, logic, emotion, ethics, etc. giving evidence is also a good idea. statistics work great. and if you can show that you did soe good research, im sure your teacher will love it.\n\nconclusion- if you like, give a quick summary of your reasons. state you opinion statement. and... a "call to action" where you are calling to the reader to take action and act on your opinion. when doing this, assume your reader strongly believes and agrees with your opinion and view on the issue.

Stop posting your homework question by question. At least have enough respect for our intelligence to gut out the question numbers!!!\n\nDo your own damn homework - you might even learn something, which would be a novel experience for you.\n\nRawlyn.

There a lots of great ways to start this paper.  If I were writing it, I would probably start out with some interesting statistics and maybe even tell the story of Governor George Ryan (IL) commuting all the death sentences in Illinois before he left office a few years ago.  Or you could open with a couple of stories on both sides of the argument.  Good luck writing this.

Here's one idea. You could argue about the crime rate in your community (assuming that you have crime in your community).I just know that crime is a big issue. For instance, you could argue about needing a larger police force or something. If you don't have a large crime rate in your community, then argue about better schools, or better garbage collection, or more sanitary restaurants. The possibilities are endless.

It's a sad state of today's society that few people truly understand how to properly debate a topic.  \n\nTake a look at this thread,\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=Asw2jMjFL4LB6c3iJDZYVNcjzKIX?qid=1006020307384\n\nThe questioner, and her teacher(!), seem to think that she has an actual, valid argument.  Many of the answerers really have no clue how to respond.\n\nThere really is an art to true debate - defining an argument, making statements, rebuttals, affirmations, reaffirmations, etc.  I think it should be taught as a mandatory subject instead of being relagated to the geek squad/debate team.\n\nThe number of logical fallacies that you can trip over in normal conversation these days is amazing.  Ad Hominem attacks are quite prevalent.  For instance, a common question on YA currently is 'should an Arab country have ownership of some American ports?'  Most answers take the simple approach, "Bush is bad, therefore any stance of his is bad."  You may not agree with my answers to this, but I would think that a better counter argument could be produced.  Sadly, it doesn't occur too often.\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmRTc1Ys0qijjTzxFexYnXvsy6IX?qid=1006022108438
