Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center
     Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center is one of the premier databases covering today's hottest social issues, from Terrorism to Endangered Species, Stem Cell Research to Gun Control.  It helps students develop critical-thinking and information literacy skills by bringing together a variety of information on social issues.
     Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center organizes thousands of Viewpoint and reference articles, statistics, newspaper and magazine articles, images, primary source documents, and Web sites by source type so students can easily navigate through the content.
     A default search appears on the Opposing Viewpoints main page, and students can simply click on a desired topic from the subjects listed.  Default topics include Abortion, Biological Weapons, Drugs and Athletes, Gambling, Illegal Immigration, Mental Disorders, Race Relations, Same Sex Marriages, War Crimes, and many more.
     Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center is one of the first places to go to search for information on both sides of an issue.
