HI David,
ReplyDeleteThe distinction is is between various arguments pro and con that have been put forward about a issue such capital punishment (e.g. the argument against its supposed deterrent effect) and what alternatives there might be to practically address related issues (e.g. life sentences, rehabilitation etc)
A pros and cons list is a chart that helps you make a decision. On the pros side of the list, you add all of the positive outcomes of a decision. On the cons side, you add all of the adverse outcomes.
ReplyDeleteCreately Pros and cons list maker allows you select template from its template library and invite you team members to collaboratively share the canvas. You can make data backed decisions by using data enabled shapes to input additional fields to add context to points and provide a broader understanding. Creately infinity canvas will help you to brainstorm to help uncover the effects of each decision a little more, see how each pro could lead to other benefits or risks and vice-versa.
