COMPARE AND CONTRAST PAPER 2

1000-1500 WORDS

THE ARGUMENT: ACT 2

Watch “The Medicated Child”: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/medicatedchild/

Then write Act 2, your dramatization (just like CP 1) of five (5) or more of our authors’ philosophies. You may use only one from those you used on your last comparison paper. This is the one I will use:

1. Ron Miller, “The World is Changing, But Schools Aren’t Keeping Up”

Specifically, how might these people react to the American epidemic of child medication, based on their philosophies? How would they explain it? Would they approve? If you feel they will all agree and thus make it boring, introduce another character, a “devil’s advocate” who will challenge them with other positions. Be creative! Work from their ideas, not yours. Feel free to quote them directly in making their arguments.
