    Topic Selection is Crucial

    The American Dilemmas paper requires specific elements. There must be an identifiable, documented policy designed to address a social problem about which there is public controversy/debate by credible parties.

    Examples:
    Social Problem Controversial Solution Policy
     Teenage pregnancy  Abortion   Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade
     Juvenile Crime  Juveniles tried as adults  Juvenile Crime & Delinquency Prevention Act 1968

     

    For tips on finding and identifying suitable topics please see Selecting a Topic: American Dilemmas & Capstone
