Instructions  TOPIC

 PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICING SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT REGULATE COST OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS? PRO ARGUMENT 500 WORDS. 

Create and apply a negotiation and mediation strategy to persuade the political opposition to a position on proposed public health or healthcare legislation aimed at addressing a current organizational or community challenge. 

1. Identify proposed public      health or health care legislation aimed at addressing a current      organizational or community challenge. 
2. Partner with another student      and decide who’ll write the “pro” position and who’ll write the      “con” position. 
3. Post your position. 
4. Take turns responding to your      partner’s position for at least three rounds following the guidance of the      moderator. 

In groups of two, you will be responsible for one debate relating to an issue assigned. One student takes the ‘pro’ position and the other takes the ‘con’ position. The goal of the presentation will be to convince your peers of the validity of your point of view. The presentation should be clear, concise, and logical. 

You must employ current data and citations from experts to support your view. Current events should be incorporated into the discussion. 

The debate group will establish the debate question based on the topic of the assigned date and present it to the class at the beginning of the debate. 

In the Threaded discussion, the class will vote for the most convincing argument. The grade for this assignment will be primarily a “group grade.” 

Therefore, it is important that you collaborate fully with your group.
