Social issues are important in today’s world. More and more people are taking an interest in events that occur in places hundreds of miles away from where they live. While every country and community has its own social issues, we often focus on the ones facing people in other parts of the world. It is important for students to reflect on the issues their community has, but in a classroom setting it could be less controversial to choose other topics and then relate them to the local community. What you choose to discuss in your classroom will depend on the age of your students and their interests as well as what your school deems acceptable material.
