For this assignment you must choose a debatable topic related to child development (birth through late adolescence).  This topic might be linked to education, youth services, or other arenas of development.  You will introduce the topic and provide background supporting your point of view; include relevant evidence/research; present a counter claim and a rebuttal to the counter claim; and draw conclusions.  As part of your conclusion, include either a call to action (your recommendations based on the research) or a thought provoking question what should readers/viewers think about?
