What is the difference between a research report on a controversial issue and a persuasive essay?

A research report can often be simply an information
report.  On a controversial issue, this means gathering others' opinions and evidence
supporting those opinions and then presenting both (or all) sides of the issue, so that
you demonstrate a full understanding of the issue and the viewpoints on
it.


In a persuasive essay, you do similar research, but
come to a conclusion yourself and then present the evidence that supports the conclusion
you make.  Your goal in that essay is to convince, rather than merely inform, the reader
of one point of view and why you believe it is the correct one.
