As the amount of international disasters multiples, it seems as though we are always being guilted into contributing financially to one aid organization or another.  First of all, where’s your passion?  Are you for, or against, these organizations using the media in such as way that guilts you in such a way as to give money that you can’t really spare?  Using the side that you feel strongest about, write the for or against on this debate issue.

Ok, once you’ve done that, you’re going to switch sides.  Take your original arguments and turn them around to address the other side of the debate. 

When you’re done, do you still feel your original opinion was correct, or has something changed now you’ve had to examine the other side more closely?
