You do you gave to present a dude and debate it against someone else? Or it’s just an assignment topic?

I think both have merits though the 2nd will delved into an area which could be hard to research for but at the same time maybe it so hard depending on how in-depth it needs to be.

IE in recent times we’ve acknowledged and apologised as a government to the indigenous and we have the welcome to land ceremonies but that’s only scratching the surface really buts a start.

I have to do a video presentation that presents both sides. It has to be 7-10 minutes long. I think I could present a decent explanation of both sides for point 1 in 7-10 minutes whereas I feel point 2 requires depth and I don't know if 10 minutes is enough.

Factually based arguments are easier to present from both sides, if you go emotional for one side it could be hard to rebuke it from the other.

Sometimes it may be better to have more information than less but at the same time you don’t want to do both topics.

I’m by far not an expert on point 2 or cultural history or even of modern day society here in Australia.

It here are common themes between them as they both involve modern day society, both the good and bad sides of it which are still prevalent, you can see that from the Vote yes/no campaign and what types of people are coming out from it and saying.

If both topics are equal go for the one where you’ll have an easier time presenting both sides.
