This hands-on workbook helps students develop the conceptual tools and argumentative strategies that will enable them to move beyond merely having opinions to discovering and evaluating the information, values, and assumptions that underlie different positions on controversial issues and cases. It shows students how to move from contentious debates to productive dialogues, and how to increase a group's resources so they can make better decisions.
