Any reasonable topic for debate involves controversy; otherwise the issue would fail to be debatable. The phrase "Inadequate parking facilities on campus" is not even a full sentence. If the statement read, "There are inadequate parking facilities on campus,' some clarification would still be helpful in order for it to be an effective statement of debate. For example, the statement could read, "There are inadequate parking facilities on campus and therefore we should build a new parking lot in the park." In this case, the statement would be highly controversial but would imply what the author intended: that new parking facilities needed to be constructed to correct the lack of proper facilities. Statement "b," "the AIDS crisis," means literally nothing; there is nothing debatable about that statement. If someone had mentioned, "the AIDS crisis is a problem shared equally by governments as by citizens," or if someone said "the AIDS crisis is a homosexual problem," then the statement would be debatable. By itself, "the AIDS crisis" is simply not a debatable statement. "Should our college abandon intercollegiate athletics?" is a debatable question. However, the rhetorical question could be better elucidated if it were clarified: for instance: "Because our college is in debt, should be abandon intercollegiate athletics?"
'The present method of electing the president of the United States should be improved," is a decent and debatable statement but would seem more powerful if the author suggested an alternative means to the Electoral College. The statement "Affirmative action in college admissions" is nothing but a phrase; it is not even a complete sentence and therefore warrants little attention. If someone had said, "affirmative action in college admissions should be abandoned because it constitutes reverse racism," then the statement would be powerful. Statement "f" is similar" gay and lesbian rights" is just a phrase, a suggestion for a potentially debatably topic that should be developed further if a debate is warranted. The rhetorical question: "Is politically correct speech a violation of free speech?" is decent and could warrant debate. Similarly, the statement, "Our college should not adopt a multicultural curriculum" is also controversial and could be a good subject for debate.
Symposium: College Admissions," by Deroy Murdoch. The article supports the view that to favor black persons entering college as part of an affirmative action program ultimately works to their disadvantage. The reason for this is that profiling of any sort draws attention to color differences and that students can somehow enter college on favoritism rather than merit. This has been perceived as reverse racism by white students not admitted
Proposition 8 Homosexuality and what rights should be afforded to same-sex couples have been in the forefront of politics for the last few years. Before this, gay people had to fight to get recognized and for their relationships to even be legal. Right now, two very important issues have been about whether gay people should be allowed to get married and whether or not they should be allowed to adopt children
Second, Proposition 30 focuses on what is important to a group of citizens -- and education should be important for the current and future health of any State. Finally, political rhetoric aside, it will take bi-partisan support and public policy initiatives working together to find a way out of California's issue. WORKS CITED Brown, D.

California Proposition 8: Same Sex Marriage The equal right to marry for same-sex couples in the United States has acquired growing public support over time, with a quantity of state-level laws passed and others presently up for debate. Proposition 8 was a ballot proposition and constitutional amendment that was passed in the November 2008 state elections in California. The measure added a new provision, Section 7.5 of the Declaration of Rights,
propositions that pertain to the policy-making process. After that, these propositions are to be tested. The author of this response will offer these three propositions, and the rationale behind them, one by one. The first proposition is that policy-making should be based less on simply facets of compassions and "fairness" and more on the results that would be garnered. A lot of people, for example, say that welfare was
What this means is before the passage of 207 if the government suddenly decided that a rose was protected, and land had natural roses growing on it the land could not be sold or developed as the owners would be government ordered to set aside that land as a natural preserve. The change that proposition 207 brought was that if a government action reduces the value of one's land then
