Discuss the difference between legitimate debate on a political issue and arguments that are based on hate through a science-fiction scenario that shows how a controversial issue can be discussed in both ways.

Finally, read newspaper editorials and letters to the editor to determine if a currently controversial debate is characterized by legitimate debate or by hate.
