 My chosen issue: increasing spending on programs for those in need.

Paragraph 1—Explain your perspective on the issue you chose. Write in complete sentences.
I think we should increase tax dollars for programs for those in need. These include
medicare, wheelchair ramps, and wider doors and sidewalks. It would be good to help those
in need. It would also make the country better, and be better than saying, ‘get a job’.

Paragraph 2—Describe a different perspective on this issue, one that differs from your own.
Write in complete sentences.
It would not be a good idea. One, we could get them to get a job, and two, we could just give
them the things they need to fit in, not changing it for everyone else.
