Q. How do I include a naysayer/opponent in my essay?

To find suggested databases and resources for this kind of assignment, use the Research Guides Controversial Issues and Opinions, Opinions: How to Find Them. Both of these Research Guides will provide search strategies with a list of online and print resources that offer different viewpoints available via the TCC Library.

The Library has several article databases with pro and con viewpoints on a variety of topics and controversial issues. It's important to know what the other side of an argument might say, so you yourself can argue against it. Learn about article types here, however, as your instructor may require a specific kind.

Beyond the library databases, the online website AllSides offers a Red Blue translator that is an alphabetical list of political topics/words. It offers a definition of controversial terms that may be helpful in your research.
