Nature gives each generation a card with several issues to deal with in its era. There are issues that remain relevant across generations and for years, some only coming to fore in the recent years. If you are looking for an interesting social justice topic for academic writing or social discussions, here is a list that you can choose from. The topics are engaging and will generate the most intriguing conversations.

Abortion is an emotive issue because of the many unresolved issues and the every changing social dynamics. It offers such issues of discussion as its legality or illegitimacy, whether it falls into civil rights or personal liberties and who should have the final say on whether a lady aborts. The health of the mother and life of the child still remain contentious.

The role and presence of women in combat is a debate that continues to simmer. There is a notion that combat is a masculine field. This explains why a lot of women have not been part of top leadership of global armies. Global gender crusaders are out to change the trend. They also want to remove any bottlenecks that could be preventing women from taking up position to defend the country. The notion is that the world would be more secure with women on the lead.

The place of religion in the society is a debate that is yet to be settled. It is made prominent by ancient incidences where religion was given a front role and the actions it is accused of taking. Consider terrorism and yet religion is supposed to be a source of peace. Churches and church leaders have also been accused of preaching water while taking wine because of their atrocious acts. Is it time to finally defrock the religion?

Gender roles and diversity in work places continues to elicit debate. The number of women occupying top corporate positions and leading entrepreneurship is remains wanting. Pay disparity and the role of education in the process are hot topics being debated everywhere. Crusaders are interested in overturning the state with the aim of creating a new order.

No human being should have to live in endless pain. This is why euthanasia remains such an emotive issue. If a person is not willing to die, why would it be upon anyone else to decide whether he lives or dies? However, the right to life for most societies has been taken away from the person and assigned to gods or state for criminals. This is why the tussle remains to-date.

Millions of companies around the world are reporting mind-boggling returns as profits. However, millions of workers waking up daily to work for these companies cannot afford food, shelter or basic clothing, among other necessities. There is definitely a problem with that scenario. Nothing can justify the face that people cannot afford what they manufacture yet their employers are declaring massive profits. This is viewed as a return to slavery.

The route taken by social justice discussions will depend on the perspective you take. Whether the issue is viewed at local or international level, it is the facts that you present that will determine the strength of the debate. While contrary opinion exits, it appears that there is no solution in sight for some of these issues.
