菜鸟的紧急求助：请问ISSUE能不能持中立态度啊？

比如本月JJ里面这一道题目：

Portrayalsof violence have proven commercially successful in television programs, movies, songs, and other forms of popular entertainment. Therefore, those who create popular entertainment should continue to incorporate violence into their products.

能不能既说“加入暴力”的好处，又说“加入暴力”的坏处啊？谢谢！！！

可以

言之有理即可

It's easier to take a position. It's hard to assert a
strong, logical argument if you stay neutral.

This is my strategy when writing my AWA (and this got me a 6):
If you support violence:
P1. Assert a position: violence is good.
P2. Give one support: violence is good.
P3. Give another support: violence is good.
P4. Use one sentence to describe why violence might not be good, and then come up with a stronger argument to overthrow the statement. It's like saying: yes, the other side got his point but my argument is still stronger.
P5. 1 or 2 lines of conclusion.

Try to come up at least 3 sentences for each paragraph.
Hope this helps.

当然可以。很多Issue题目都是这样的，有条件地支持或者有原则地反对。GMAT考得不是对错，而是你说理的过程方法，首先要能明确看出你的观点，然后是你使用的论证材料和分析过程能够充分支持你的观点。
