Twenty-First Century Debates

In the twenty-first century, we are facing major social issues, ranging from the refugee crisis and homelessness to drug wars and gun violence. This series helps readers explore and debate them all. It defines each issue and looks at its root causes. Important questions surrounding each problem are debated, and readers are invited to assess the information provided and draw their own conclusions. Each book concludes by questioning how it might feel to be caught up in a major crisis such as homelessness or gun violence and suggests that, as citizens, we all need to consider the role we can play in helping to solve each 21st century problem.
