This innovative reader helps readers develop a strong cognitive approach to critical reading and writing by challenging them to express their own ideas on controversial issues and to respond to those of others on the same issues. It features opposing, accessible readings on sixteen current topics—with questions to stimulate application of prior knowledge, critical response, and persuasive writing—and with a focus on developing an active, questioning, skeptical approach toward ideas in print. The volume introduces the process of critical reading and writing, and provides issues for writing including the juvenile justice system, should witnesses become involved?, should adoption records be confidential?, aggression in sports, affirmative action in college admissions, obedience, controlling our own fates, rap as a cultural force, welfare vs. workfare, human cloning and human rights, the right to bear arms, sex education, should high school be required?, the effects of technology on society, pornography, and is freedom worth dying for? For those interested in improving their critical reading and writing skills.
