I have chosen two topics that I have given a lot of thought to. These being the controversies over Affirmative Action and Euthanasia. The controversy of affirmative action centers around the inclusion of previously discriminated groups in employment, education, and business. The controversy lies in that because businesses and private schools/colleges do not want to seem partial to any race in particular, they extend their hands to those who were previously excluded. On the other hand those who have been discriminated against in the past are offered many incentives because of their color or heritage when in today's world they have not been specifically excluded or discriminated against.
The controversy around Euthanasia is wether it is classified as murder or not. Euthanasia is the practice of intentionally ending a life to relieve pain or suffering. There are many different laws around the world concerning Euthanasia. In Britain it is considered "a deliberate intervention with the express intention of ending a life to relieve intractable suffering". It is legal in some places to end a life when it is voluntary while non voluntary is illegal and involuntary is classified as murder.
I found these two topics easy to research becuase there is a lot of information on them. I am leaning towards Euthanasia becuase I find it interesting about how a person can intentionally end a life and not be charged for a criminal offense.
