McGraw-Hill/Dushkin's Taking Sides approach--used by the higher education community since 1978--brings together the arguments of leading social and behavioral scientists, educators, and contemporary commentators and forms 18 to 20 debates, or issues, that present the pros and cons of current controversies in an area of study.
An Issue Introduction provides students with proper context and historical background to each debate. After reading the debate, students are given other viewpoints to consider in the Issue Postscript. Through this combination--the Issue Introduction, the Yes and No sides of the issue, and the Issue Postscript--Taking Sides fosters critical thinking in students and encourages them to develop a concern for serious social dialogue.
