You will select a contemporary social issue and write a 7-8 pages (excluding title
page and reference list) paper using concepts, theories and models you have
learned in class, supplemented by your outside research.
• The most important point about choosing a topic is that you can use some of the
social psychology concepts and theories that you have learnt about them in the
course, in your paper. Remember that this is an analytical paper.
o Examples of social issues could be gender equality, LGBT rights, political
issues, on-campus issues, civil rights, environmental issues, politics, etc.
You may choose any of the above broad topics and focus on one aspect of
them that you like or any other topic of your own.
