Conclusions
Discuss about any or all of the following in your discussion:

• Research- What you learned on both sides
• What do you agree or disagree with (be specific)
• Opinions, causes, solutions, and effects of the problem
• Broader implications of your issue 
• Reflection back on personal experience and how the research challenges or reaffirms your ideas.

Maybe considering answering the following questions:

• How could you extend the ideas the previous sources put forth?
• What was something new that you could add to the conversation?
•  How could you draw knowledge, perspectives and wisdom from all sides to advance the debate?

Lastly, try these other strategies:

• Play the “So What” game.
• Synthesize, don’t summarize. Instead, show your reader how the points you made and the support and examples you used fit together.
• Include a provocative insight or quotation from the research or reading you did for your paper.
