Like the title says I am going to be writing a 10 page research paper on any social injustice, so I ask you guys what would be a good social injustice that has a lot of information on can write on. It has to be a specific topic as well not just something like how different races or disabilities are discriminated.

just talk about government coercion and when its justified our not. there has to be a law that you can argue is not justifiable. then talk about what makes laws justifiable and what justifies the state to intervene in our freedoms.
i think that would be a good topic. 1 it is kinda interesting..kinda.. 2 there is plenty to write about 3 if your interested i think I can give you some good articles to read that would be very helpful. again tons of info on this

look at injustice in the US... most people don't want to hear about the "bad" qualities of our country--- but it's what we need to look at in order to start change.


Kozol and Waltzer will be very helpful.
