Publisher's Synopsis
Rape culture, racism, climate change, fake news, and more are important topics that are debated every day, and the results of these debates have very real effects on the lives of people around the world. However, the topics are complex, and news stories often give a limited picture of the whole issue, sometimes causing confusion and distress. These volumes give young adults all the facts about these issues through informative main text, helpful charts and graphs, and detailed sidebars, helping them understand what is at stake. Readers will form their own intelligent opinions about current events and controversial topics. Features include: Up-to-date statistics and annotated quotes by experts in related fields give readers the most accurate information possible. Discussion questions facilitate respectful debates and allow readers to develop their own informed point of view. Lists of organizations to contact provide readers with resources for further information, support, or ways to get involved on a local or global level.
