I need a question that will create a good discussion. One with two sides to it.
Best Answer: The perfect question for a question? Two parts to a single inquiry? For a case like this you should always refer to the 50/50 rule. I will elaborate in a moment, but first you should digest and analyze the question that you pose here: “what is a good discussion question for bio terrorism?” do you want a discussion or a question? Do you want to ask about biology or terrorism? I think if you take a good look at the questions I just posed you will begin to see where you should go with this.Half of your question should deal with biology and the other half with terrorism. What is biology but the study of organisms? And what is terrorism but the active pursuit of terrorising those organisms? If you put these two together then you have scary biology! And, lets be honest, biology is scary.Now we know what direction to go with this line of question. Next we should frame our question. If we’re talking about scary biology then there must be some safe and secure biology out there somewhere. Bam! See what I did there? I just introduced the 50/50 principle again. If one thing could happen and another one will then it either is going to happen or it won’t. On one side you have the scary biology and on the other you have non-scary biology. So if you were to dig your hand into a great big barrel of biologies then you would have a 50% chance of pulling out some scary biology. For me personally, I don’t like those odds. I’d rather pull out some non-scary biology.Based on this discussion we have good direction and a good question: Do you, when faced with 50/50 odds of being scared by the biology you grab, reach your hand into a great big barrel of biology? You’re either going to get scary biology or your going to get regular biology. Well do you? Do you feel lucky?
