Issues are problems that affect a lot of people in a community or a country. This can include things like social injustice, environmental issues and poverty. These issues can be discussed and written about in articles or community activities.
Social Justice
The Black Lives Matter movement has brought a new spotlight on racism and police brutality around the world. It has also led to a rise in political polarization.
Healthcare
The United States spends more on healthcare than most other countries in the world, but many still do not have access to affordable or reliable medical services. This is especially true of people living in poverty and those with mental health issues.
Climate Change
The Earth’s temperature is warming and the effects of this are already being felt worldwide. Warmer winters, drier summers and wildfires have the potential to devastate areas.
Poverty
There are 800 million people living in poverty around the world. This number is expected to rise, placing greater stress on governments and the social systems they provide.
Women’s Rights
There is a long way to go before women have equal access to education, jobs and economic security across the globe. Despite this, there are still some barriers to women’s empowerment, including discriminatory laws and policies that keep them from reaching their full potential.
Politics
While politics can be a contentious topic, it can also be an important part of discussing important issues in a community or classroom. This can help students better understand the challenges that face the world and how they can help solve them.
