Is there a standard way to give a list of bullets a title in LaTeX? For instance, if I wanted something akin to this:
Pros:
- Pro 1
- Pro 2
- Etc.
Cons:
- Con 1
- Con 2
- Etc.

Here's a more beamer way to do things.
The idea is to make an "action" environment that changes the bullet colour.
\documentclass{beamer}
\useinnertheme{circles}
\newenvironment{proenv}{\only{\setbeamercolor{local structure}{fg=green}}}{}
\newenvironment{conenv}{\only{\setbeamercolor{local structure}{fg=red}}}{}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Some pros and cons}
\begin{itemize}
\item<pro@1-> A pro item
\item<con@1-> A con item
\item A neutral item
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
The syntax of adding the action requires you to specify the slide range that the action will apply to; you should set this to 1- (which means slide 1 and all further slides) otherwise the colour will change back to the default colour theme if you are uncovering any parts of the slide.
Just alter the parent structure:
\documentclass{beamer}
%title
\setbeamercolor{block title alerted}{fg=white,bg=brown}
%body
\setbeamercolor{block body alerted}{fg=black!90,bg=brown!60!yellow}
% parent of all alerts default is red
\setbeamercolor{alerted text}{fg=green}
\begin{document}
\frame{
\begin{itemize}
\item item
\end{itemize}
\begin{alertblock}{alert block}
\begin{itemize}
\item item
\end{itemize}
\end{alertblock}
}
\end{document}
I would not recommend to use exactly this color scheme but it shows how itemize items and the background can be adjusted individually. This will effect enumerate environments and any other alert as well.
Additional tipp: instead of guessing beamer templates which are not listed in the guide just look them up in the beamer<color/inner/outer>themedefault.sty files in the beamer tree.

I'm not aware of any "standard" way to do it, but often
\subsection*or\subsubsection*is (mis-?)used for this. It depends on the document layout. The lower level\paragraph*and\subparagraph*normally don't break the line and aren't usable because of that.
