SOCIAL THOUGHTS
A social issue refers to topics of national political interest, over which the public is deeply divided and which are the subject of intense partisan advocacy, debate, and voting. Examples include abortion and same sex marriage. In this case “social issue” does not necessarily refer to an ill to be solved, but rather to a topic to be discussed. We are open to broad interpretations of social issues such as conceptual and abstract works.
