Controversial Issues





Every society, no matter how many members it has, organises itself through a set of rules.

Our school is no different from any other social structure. We have our regulations, which deal with a range of issues.

Here you have a list containing some of them and related topics which tend to be controversial outside school.


* Smoking (Ban in enclosed areas)

* Timetable structure (Lunch break? Yes or no)

* Mobile phones at school (Misused, disruptive and intrusive)

* Digital books (Vs Paper books)

* Uniforms (the importance of personal appearance)

* Single-sex school (Social difference by gender)

* Disruptive behaviour (vandalism and hooliganism)

* Migration (Integration, adaptation, mixed cultures and changes in society)

* Inclusion (Handicapped people in modern society)

* Automatic promotion (faked success, easy fame and the value of true effort)


Of course, not everyone agrees with the status quo and there are always voices who disagree.

Your task this time will be a debate.

Choose one of the topics above and with 3 more partners follow your teacher's instructions.
