Today in CWI everyone finished up taking their oral tests so that we could start the debate. Our first topic we discussed in our debate was abortion. Democrats are for abortion and Republicans are against it. After we go on both sides and see the views of both Democrats and Republicans we get to talk about our own opinions on the topics. Mr. Bruns told us a story about a morning pill. I think that it's a good idea to have this pill because they might not know who the father of the baby might be and not be able to take care of it or something.The next topic was flag burning. Democrats are split on this topic. Some of the Democrats think that it should be banned becasue of the powerful symbol. Others think that it affects freedom of expression or free speech. I learned that Republicans are against flag burning.The next topic we talked about was gun control. Democrats think that we need more gun regulations. This means that only certain people can have certain types of guns. Republicans think that people should be able to have weapons because of the second amendment.I learned a lot today about the difference between the Democrats and Republicans. We will continue our debate on Monday.
