Other possibilities:

1. Considering the rise in famine and world hunger, should more affluent countries be using corn (a potential food source for millions) as fuel?

One idea or problem which fascinates me is what sort of ethical conflict we may encounter when developing artificial intelligence, e.g. “How should we define or limit the rights of androids?” or “Should androids enjoy human rights?”

Another one is whether we should fund and support a mission to Mars. Should we discontinue the Space Shuttle? Should we develop and fund programs on Earth’s Moon?

I just happened to look down into my book bag. I have a copy of Harriet E. Wilson’s Our ***; or Sketches from the Life of a Free Black, republished in 1983 by Vintage Books. Mrs. Harriet E. Wilson entered the copyright in August of 1859 at the District Court of Massachussetts.

Maybe you could examine the issues surrounding the use of language such as n-ig-g-e-r and white trash. I know woman who refuses to stop using the phrase white trash.

How about words like ****, greaser, taco, when applied negatively to Latin American or Mexican immigrants?
