How might you use the strategies for applying creativity to problems and issues in addressing this topic?

In this particular topic, we are discussing politicians and medical marijuana. I would take the novel appraoch firstt and foremost. I would first start by encouraging readers my readers to reserch both views on the medical marijuana case. I would ask for readers comments after they read the article and be open to any questions that they may have about the topic at hand. I would also be sure to include many facts, positive and negative reinforced ones so that the reader can form their own opinion.

How might you use the strategies for promoting curiosity in addressing this topic? Why do you think these strategies might be affective?

I would first go with devising or modifying a process or system. This strategy would spark the curiostiy of the readers. Readers would then want to further research medical marijuana and what it is doing for patients with medical condidtions. They will also be more inclined to look into what medical marijuana is doing for users that have no medical condition but just want to get the "high" that marijuana offers. Readers will also look into the political views on the topic and look into why marijuana is now legalized in Coloroda.

How might you use the various methods for producing ideas to eliminate the bias from the original article and still present a factual and persuasive case?

I would start off by modifying the system and coming up with an approach in my writingn that would only give the honest facts and try to not include opinions that support one or the other. By including only facts of the topic, the reader is able to come up with their own ideas and opions about the topic.
