issues, which raise heated debate and provoke
confrontation concerning an ambiguous subject
of a current interest.
These are issues about which people have very
strong yet divergent feelings and opinions, which
lead to much dispute and argument. These
feelings and opinions may exist due to religious,
social, or political beliefs. Controversial essay
topics tend to polarize people, who often make
strong arguments for and against the subjects.
They come from concepts or ideas that have
various points of view that make up the issue.
Controversial essay topics are often the subject
of your research assignments. These carefully
selected topics will help you with your essay.
