Instructions:

Pick one of the following questions and chose a side. You must research your position and write a solid defense of whatever you chose to discuss:

- What do you feel the most valuable step any government can take to prevent violent extremism? We aren't looking for a silver bullet just what you feel should be the priority.

- Should the US be involved in combating terrorism abroad? Should we focus solely on terrorism happening in the United States? Don't limit yourself just to the ISIL question scenario, think in a broad focus.
