Yesterday I had you choose a global issue and you wrote about it on your blog. Today on your blog I want you to tell me about two different perspectives of your global issue. Are there people for an against your issue? Do people disagree on your issue? Is it a topic that can cause controversy? Look at the issue for two different perspectives. Tell me about those perspectives.

I honestly think that most people are against cancer. It destroys families and lives. A lot of people are for treating cancer and that is something the medical field tries to work towards each day. You could disagree on how to treat cancer. Doctors might disagree on what is best for their patient. Cancer could lead up to a controversy because you have so many doctors all putting their opinions in on how the cancer could be treated most effectively. I would say that there could actually be three perspectives. One perspective could be the doctors. Doctors are just doing their job and probably treat a lot of cancer patients every day. A second perspective could be the immediate family members of the person who has cancer. The immediate family members go through a lot and it's really hard for other people that are not in your exact shoes to understand what is really going on.  Then there is a third perspective which would be friends and relatives. Relatives might also go through a stressing time with trying to do all they can do to help you out. Friends might have the stress of not being able to see a friend who is in the immediate family. All friends and relatives can only really understand maybe a little of how to just be there for you and catch you when you fall during your rough times.
