Possible controversy analysis report layout

There are many different ways a report can be written.  I'll layout two here.

Version 1:

• summary of controversy

• major topics and question(s)
• major sides

• Side 1--list all the things addressed by side 1, which might include, for example...
• what's going on?
• sub side A
• sub side B
• what entities are involved?
• what are the causes?
• sub side A
• sub side B
• sub side C
• what are the effects?
• ...solutions?
• ...shoulds (right) and shouldn'ts (wrong)
• ...true and false?, etc.
• Side 2
• [repeat above]
• Side 3 etc.

Version 2:

• summary of controversy
• major topics and question(s)
• major sides
• what's going on
• side 1
• side 2
• sub side A
• sub side B
• side 3

• entities involved
• s1
• s2
• s3
• sub side A
• sub side B
• etc.

----The order here doesn't really matter, except perhaps the what's going on question.  Perhaps it's best that it comes first.  Unless you see fit to do otherwise.

NOTE:  This is not a prescription of what exactly to do.  DO NOT simply follow these outlines exactly.  That is, if I list 3 sides and your controversy has 4, then list 4 sides, not 3.  If I list "sub side A" and "sub side B" under a certain topic or side, and if there aren't subsides in your controversy, then don't try to make it appear as if there were subsides under this topic or side.

Example summary: The debate over whether or not abortion should be a legal option continues to divide Americans long after the US Supreme Court’s 7-2 decision on Roe v. Wade declared the procedure a "fundamental right" on Jan. 22, 1973.  Proponents, identifying themselves as pro-choice, contend that choosing abortion is a woman's right that should not be limited by governmental or religious authority, and which outweighs any right claimed for an embryo or fetus. They say that pregnant women will resort to unsafe illegal abortions if there is no legal option.  Opponents, identifying themselves as pro-life, contend that personhood begins at conception, and therefore abortion is the immoral killing of an innocent human being. They say abortion inflicts suffering on the unborn child, and that it is unfair to allow abortion when couples who cannot biologically conceive are waiting to adopt.--from procon.org
