Two Different Sides

This book is a good eye opener for anyone who has even a little opinion on moral issues such as abortion, the death penalty, the right to pornography, and euthanasia. The cool part of this book is that it presents a pro-side and a con-side to seventeen different issues. The way in which the arguments are presented are logical and follow a well thought out pattern of thought. In my reading of this book, I was amazed at some of the thoughts that were presented many of which I had never thought of or considered before. This book could serve as a textbook, or just a good resource book for debates. If you have even a slight opinion on a touchy issue, I would suggest reading this book for two reasons; first, it will give you more understanding and fire for your position, and second, you be able to understand where someone else is coming from.
