300 Word Essay

This year for NHD I am doing my project on thee debate between intelligent design and evolution being taught in schools. I am doing a documentary and I will be working with Daivon Jackson.



We picked this topic, because it is very interesting, and whenever t is talked about, it some how creates a heated debate. A couple of times it has even created court cases having to do with people going against each other for this not to be taught in schools. One case and source that had some thing to do with this topic was the Millerkitz vs. The Dover area School District. There have been other cases on this studies, there has even been things that have occurred where a students painting was torched because he/she drew a big portrait if monkeys slowly evolving into a human man. People’s families were even threatened depending on which side they were for.




This topic relates to the NHD topic, because there is a conflict and a compromise. The conflict is that people don not always agree on this topic and it causes a lot on trouble and tension for a lot of people, sometime so much conflict that its results include people threatening others lives. Our compromise is that in the end it was outlawed in public schools, that way you wouldn’t have to worry about this any longer.


In the end, this is clearly a really hot and debated topic. Even in our school we had to write a paper on whether or not we thought is should be taught in schools. This causes a lot of problems and that’s why we picked this as our topic. My partner and I would like to get more in depth on this topic and we think that we can cause even more awareness of this topic by doing a topic like this one, which is such a strong topic.
