Internet addiction. Cell-phone-distracted drivers. Teen suicide. Economic recession. The health risks of trans fats. These carefully-selected case studies are designed to help students understand and critically evaluate a wide range of contemporary social issues. The cases are organized to highlight a series of key elements: why "objective" claims deserve critical attention, how advocates bring attention to issues, why expert interpretations may change over time, the role of the media in shaping or distorting concerns, and the consequences of public policy.
