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.

The topic I chose is Mental Illness. Its difficult to have argumentative sides, but its more of an issue of: is this a big problem? 

Some people think that Mental Illness is rare and not a big issue. When it comes to awareness and state/federal funding for programs, they think its not necessary. They really don't want to see a bunch of tax dollars going into Mental Health centers.

Other people, mostly those who have or know someone who has a mental illness, think that it does not have enough attention. Some areas have Mental Health Centers and spend a lot of money for professionals. They want to see more awareness (PSA's maybe), and continue to support programs to help those people.
