Contemporary life is marked by controversy. Choose a controversial local, national, or global issue with which you are familiar. Then, using appropriate evidence, write an essay that carefully considers the opposing positions on this controversy and proposes a solution or compromise.

Answer and Explanation:

One of the most common polemics today is the discrepancy of opinions about the vaccines against the coronavirus that stimulate the hope of some people, while provoking the anger and the regulation of others.

As we know, vaccines are strong allies in fighting diseases. They have been in use for years and have proven to be efficient and beneficial to the entire population, worldwide. Vaccines are produced after intense scientific research, in addition to being distributed only after being approved in a series of tests that prove their effectiveness. For this reason, many people celebrate the launch of vaccines against coronavirus, as they will be able to protect themselves and return to normal as the population is immunized with the vaccine.

However, other people are suspicious and claim that vaccines are fake, that they cause disease and will cause more health, social, economic and political problems. However, these people do not have any alternative of protection as efficient as vaccines, but they advocate palliative treatments, inefficient and without any scientific proof.

Therefore, we as rational and responsible citizens for the good of society must focus on what science and technology has to offer in the fight against the coronavirus, since we always rely on science to combat evils at this level.
