Today's Debates (Group 2)

What are the primary challenges facing U.S. prisons today? Does the rest of the world have a responsibility to step in when a genocide or other atrocity is taking place? In what cases is military intervention unethical and when is it necessary?

It discusses everything from same-sex marriage to reproductive technology, from genocide to military interventions, from torture to prisons. Each book carefully presents every side of the debate, empowering young readers to draw their own conclusions on some of the most complex topics of our time.
