resource of the week: points of view
Chances are if you've ever taken an English class, you've had to write an argumentative paper. For those of us who find it hard to pick a side and stick with it, a database like Points of View Reference Center would've been really helpful. Points of View takes hot topics like abortion, childhood obesity, and gun control, and presents points and counterpoints to each side. All essays come with a bibliography, which can be a good place to start digging for more info on the topic.
