For my Senior Seminar course, my students have been using the book Taking
Sides. However, I have some problems with some of the sections in the book.
There are a number of debates in which one side is presented using a
rational, cohesive, research-based paper and then the other side's paper is
a case study (testimonial) or someone's opinion with little to back up the
statement or arguments that make little sense (for example, the arguments
concerning racial differences in intelligence, memories of sexual abuse, is
schizophrenia a biological disorder, antidepressant drugs effectiveness,
religious commitment improve mental health). Does anyone have a series of
papers that present both sides in an appropriate format? I have difficulty
teaching critical thinking relying on scientific sources if the readings
are doing what I'm telling them not to do! I'm willing to keep using the
book if I can find papers to suppliment the sides that are weak.
