Open class discussion for students to speak freely.
The town you live in has decided to build a new casino.
The pros.
The cons.
Building a casino will create a lot of jobs for the town.
People who gamble a lot will lose a lot of money and create problems with their families.
If the government runs the casino a lot of the money that is made can go to schools and hospitals.
People with bad gambling habits will create more crime to get money to gamble.
Casino brings in tourism which leads to more money and jobs.
However more tourists also means prostitution and drugs.
The discussion is should the town build a casino and make the money or will it create too many other problems?
