# Issue → Debate → Conclusion / 이슈 → 쟁점 → 결론

- English name: Issue → Debate → Conclusion
- Korean name: 이슈 → 쟁점 → 결론
- Selection category: debate
- Use when: Use when a topic has identifiable issues and opposing arguments that need a reasoned conclusion.
- Avoid when: Avoid if the piece should remain open-ended.

## Writing Pattern

**Use a fixed three-step structure**

- Issue
  - State the central topic clearly.
  - Include why discussion is needed, background context, and urgency.
- Debate
  - Present multiple perspectives and conflicting claims fairly.
  - Cover pro/con, trade-offs of alternatives, and stakeholder differences.
- Conclusion
  - Offer a clear conclusion, recommendation, or decision direction based on the debate.
  - This can become the organization’s position or the writer’s proposal.

## Example Writing Outline

1. **Should We Keep Remote Work?**: Since COVID-19, whether to continue remote work has become a key internal issue. (Issue)
2. **Pros and Cons**: Employee satisfaction rose, but concerns persist about collaboration efficiency and engagement. (Debate)
3. **Conclusion and Proposal**: Shift to a hybrid model and pair it with performance-based flexibility. (Conclusion)

## Writing Notes

- Start the Issue in a neutral, objective tone—explain the phenomenon and why it merits discussion.
- In Debate, cover multiple views evenly; summarize pros/cons and stakeholder perspectives without bias.
- The Conclusion must link logically to the prior analysis and offer a specific recommendation or criterion.
- When appropriate, translate the conclusion into a concrete plan or policy direction.
