Are animal dissection and vivisection still necessary as teaching tools?
Article Abstract:
Some people think hands-on animal dissection is an important learning tool that cannot be replaced by computer graphics, an alternative which has been suggested. Others believe that alternatives to dissection should be used because they are cost effective and do not involve using carcinogenic chemicals and wildlife. Students will respect life more if they do not use animals in unnecessary experiments, according to dissection opponents.

Should the federal government try to stimulate volunteerism through its national service program?
Article Abstract:
Controversy exists on whether the federal government should use its national service program to increase volunteerism. For example, the federal AmeriCorps is criticized as an expensive bureaucracy which will provide negative lessons. However, supporters of federal incentives claim that a greater national effort is needed, which can utilize the Senior Corps, AmeriCorps and the Corporation for National Service.
