Opposing Viewpoints

Now here is the database for those of you who want different views or debates on topics. This is very good for new concepts or ideas as it covers all the angles. Great for school projects or general research. There is a main search box in the top right of the home page or there are eight headings that you can choose from as follows:
  • Business and Economics
  • Energy and Environmentalism
  • Health and Medicine
  • Law and Politics
  • National Debate Topic
  • Science, Technology and Ethics
  • Society and Culture
  • War and Diplomacy
If you choose the View All option beside a heading you will get a list of subheadings to choose from.
Also under the homepage heading are tabs for Home, Issues, Maps and Resources. The Issues tab will take you to an alphabetical list that you can choose from. If you click on Resources you then see a list of Curriculum Standards and there is one for New Zealand. This leads on to options for drilling down into study topics for age levels.
Down the right of the homepage are the Featured Video and Featured News links.
