How do I find the pro and con perspectives of an issue?
How to find the pro and con, for or against, positive and negative, both or two sides about an issue of debate.
Many entries in the CQ Researcher database have a Pro/Con section in which you can read both sides of an issue that is publicly debated in the United States. These issues may not be as contentious in other countries, and the authors of the two perspectives are usually based in the United States. If your professor requires that you use peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles, they may not accept CQ Researcher entries.
