You\u2019re not too thrilled about writing another essay, but when you check your next assignment, it reads: PRO-CON ESSAY.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhoa! Pro-Con,\u201d you wonder out loud, \u201cIs that anything like Comic-Con<\/a>? If Comic-Con is all things comics and culture, maybe Pro-Con is all things pro, like all things pro football or all things pro basketball.\u201d<\/p>\n

No, sorry. A pro-con essay is nothing like Comic-Con (though you could probably write a pro-con essay about <\/i>Comic-Con). A pro-con essay isn\u2019t all about pro sports, either.<\/p>\n

A pro-con essay is decidedly less flashy than a comic book superhero. It simply examines both the pros (positive aspects) and the cons (negative aspects) of an issue. But hey, you can make your pro-con essay sorta flashy, right? Finding the perfect topic is the first step.<\/p>\n

Feeling a mental block, and don\u2019t have a clue about what to write about for this type of paper?<\/p>\n

Let me engage my superhero powers (you didn\u2019t know I had any, did you?) to generate 21 pros and cons topics to help you write a better essay.<\/p>\n

Choosing a Pros and Cons Topic<\/h2>\n

Topics are funny creatures. Choose the right one, and you\u2019re on your way to an awesome paper. Choose the wrong one, and you\u2019re headed for disaster.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what I mean. How do you think your paper would turn out if you decided to write about the pros and cons of brushing your teeth? Um yeah, there are lots of reasons you should <\/i>brush your teeth and no reasons you shouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

So how exactly do <\/i>you decide what to write about? Pick something controversial<\/a> and something that you can examine from multiple angles.<\/p>\n

You want a topic that you can present equal evidence for both the pros and the cons of the topic. This will enable you to analyze both the positives and negatives while presenting a clear discussion for your readers.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, check out these pros and cons topics that will help you write a better essay.<\/p>\n

This list includes not only 21 pros and cons topics but also a few pros and cons for each topic to get you started. I\u2019ve even linked to some sample essays for added inspiration.<\/p>\n

1. Attending Comic-Con<\/h3>\n

Pros:<\/b> You can meet people and make friends who share your love of comics. You might even meet (or at least get to listen to) comic-book writers, such as Jason Aaron<\/a> or Brian Selznick<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cons:<\/b>  If you don\u2019t live in the area, you might go broke attending. Purchasing tickets can be confusing and difficult, so if you\u2019re not persistent and detail-oriented, you might find yourself without a ticket or with tickets to the wrong events.<\/p>\n

2. Unions<\/a><\/h3>\n

Pros:<\/strong> Unions can help negotiate better wages and bridge communication between management and workers.<\/p>\n

Cons:<\/b> Joining unions can be expensive, and not all workers may share benefits equally. Unions can add unnecessary bureaucracy that makes it more difficult to complete a job.<\/p>\n
