Due Wed 4/25 "Jigsaw Activity"

Give a quick explanation of the topic and propose a debate resolution of the topic.

I read about whether or not the Press should be censored during the current war on terror. A good resolution would be: "The press should stay censored during the War on Terror because it will panic the masses."

Explain why it is an important topic.

This topic could impact your daily life by you not knowing everything that is going on in your country. It is hard to avoid information given to you and who purposely doesnt watch the news? Most adults and/or teenagers watch the news and when they get the story; good or bad, they want the whole story, not false hope or worring that is unnessacery.

Q: Write one or two sentences that explain a good point made by the con side and one or two sentences that explain a good point made by the pro side:

Con Side:
- The people of America always have a right to know what's going on with their own country and military.
- Military families will be at ease knowing the whole and honest truth to what is going on in the war.

Pro Side:
- Even though Americans have the right to know the truth, the dont really need it.
- Seeing soldiers dead or American planes exploding wouldn't be good for the families of America.
