Why does ProCon.org only present two sides of an issue when there are often many more sides to controversial issues?
ProCon.org presents many sides of an issue – not just two. For instance, on the issue of medical marijuana, we ask one core question “Should marijuana be a medical option?” which has a pro response or a con response. However, we also ask over 75 other questions about medical marijuana to explore the nuance and diversity of opinions on the issue. Each ProCon.org standard issue website contains dozens and sometimes hundreds of questions and resources about the issue. The end result is far more than a two-dimensional examination of a topic. That said, our mini and micro sites present pros and cons surrounding one core question (and no additional questions) along with some related information on the issue being discussed. Whether our mini and micro sites are therefore two-dimensional is up to the reader to determine.
