text: When writing something, getting a different point of view can always make your essay better. Before starting your essay, you should always look at the two (or more) view points. As long as you know which side your essay is about you won't get lost when writing. When given multiple viewpoints, always address the other side somewhere in your essay. Whether its at the beginning or end of an essay or speech, addressing both sides show how committed you are to the topic and it means that people can't question whether or not you even considered the other side. If you're ever not sure which side you agree with, than list the pros and cons of each side. This will show how much you already know about each viewpoint, and what you need to research about.
