 Anael Benmergui     Good morning everyone! Today I will be giving feedback on my thoughts and feelings on all of the presentations. Every single group did an amazing job presenting. I think it is important to say that all of these topics are extremely controversial, and most people feel a certain way about it, but all of the groups did an amazing job at presenting the facts and leaving their personal feelings out of it. This is something that is very hard to do especially because of the way we feel about these topics.     I love the introduction that Briana gave.
