i have to make a speech in my english class presenting a recent conflict and providing reasoning for each side. If anyone can give me ideas i’d appreciate it.
There was a thread (or two) and articles on the YW News regarding the special election candidates Turner and Weprin.
less filling vs tastes great
in all seriousness though, what about the recent debt crisis between republicans and democrats, or pros and cons of universal healthcare plenty of info can be found online. Hatzlacha
HIE-
Try “am yisrael chai”‘s suggestion, Obamacare’s pros and cons, the 2009 World Series (if your teacher has a sense of humor), the Libyan revolution, the Egyptian revolution, Perry vs. Romney – there are many good topics in current events that don’t require more than an hour or two or research to create a good HS-level presentation.
There was a GREAT story recently about a twin who shot the hockey puck directly into this teeny goal & won major cash in this hockey contest.
The dad’s conflict was that his son, whose name was drawn as the winner to take a shot at the goal, was in the restroom. So the dad told his twin to take the shot.
And he scored!
The dad did fess up, despite knowing that no one would know the difference, to teach the boys right from wrong.
The insurance company then had a conflict and spent time determining if the prize money should indeed be dispensed or not.
And would’ya have guessed that the company said “not?”
Great stuff.
How about some history?
The north vs. the south in the civil war.
Why don’t you just talk about some fight you recently had with your younger brother.

The OP needs a recent conflict.
It would work though if the OP uses the Marevelous Midos Machine’s time machine.
Because she needs to provide reasoning for both sides…
For a recent conflict how about the Gaza blockade?
The hockey puck story is a great idea.
Thats an internal conflict between the Yetzar Tov and the Yetzar Harah (perhaps the biggest conflict of all).
Re gaza blockade suggestion: There are no two sides.We have a right to defend ourselves against hamas. By showing two sides of a conflict you legitimize another side at least as being somewhat valid.If you read the opening post HIE actually does in fact state for the assignment reasoning for both sides must be given.In this case HIE would have to declare why hamas feels they have claims to Eretz Yisrael. (something which could also possibly border on apikorsus and Chilul Hashem)Bichlal when presenting in schools we have to be careful not to say anything that could lead to misinterpretation.Simchas to all and Lishana Haba Biyerushalyim
(If it’s not too late…) How about the conflict that was reported at Yeshivas Ponovicz regarding who has the right to a particular chair in the bais medrash? One side claims it’s theirs, as they’ve occupied the seat for many years, the other side claims it’s theirs, as they owned it prior to the first family’s “ownership”. You can research it on this website, under prior topics.
Should American indians be living tax free as an apology for white man’s treatment, or since they are enjoying the benefits of our government they should pay taxes?
