Extracts from this document...

Introduction

Citizenship Coursework: A critical commentary on two contrasting sources of information ID cards have become a controversial issue in recent news as the issue raises lots of worries and logistical points. The public seem to be torn between whether or not it will be effective use of our country's money. As it stands, there seems to be a lot of negative feedback and points raised, making the system opposed. ID cards could be useful and couldn't be.

A new idea or a total scrap will most likely be brought forward. It is important that it is trialled or information is reviewed for the idea to work.
