These topics include the most controversial and studied social issues of the 21st century: abortion, capital punishment, care for senior citizens, crime, the environment, health care, immigration, minorities, national security social welfare, sports, women, youth, and many more. Even though this series is written especially for high school and undergraduate students, it is an excellent resource for anyone in need of factual information on current affairs"--P. vii (Preface). |
