A number of topics have been banned from your Final Project. However, a few of them appear on this list of Prompts. The basis for the selection of these topics for your Rogerian Argument is that they are all very controversial topics that evoke much emotion from both sides.
Your research however, has been done for you. Therefore, you MUST use ONLY the sources provided to base your essays on. The topics are as follows: Abortion, Animal Rights, Capital Punishment, Euthanasia, and War and Terrorism. Do not write anything before you have READ EVERYTHING I have provided on that topic.
