Can anyone give a few discussion topics?
Our class have a discussion presentation coming up and my group couldn’t think of any topic right off the head. So I was wondering if you guys can give me some topics so that we can use for the “discussion presentation”.
We would like topics that aren’t so common for instance not gay marriage, abortion, drugs etc something else but it’s still debatable/discussable and easy for us to have pro & con arguments.
Thanks a lot.
