I am not sure if this has already been discussed in this forum but I have a query regarding Issue essays.

Is it necessary to take a position or can we write an essay which considers both sides as equally important. For eg. if an issue essay wants to talk about "money is the most important incentive for employees"- Is it necessary that you have to either say that money is the most important incentive or say that money is not OR can we go with - money is important but so are many other things.
