Controversial Subjects
Controversial subjects are those which people often have strong opinions about, like religion and politics. In general social conversation, these topics are to be avoided. If a controversial subject such as abortion, racism, or gay marraige should arise, one should not feel pressured to state their opinion, or be afraid to because of a difference in the others'. However, tact should always be exercised in doing so. Avoid conflict over your differences, and gently steer the conversation away from the controversial subject.
