From the Paper:
"The class discussion of just a small sampling of some of the uncountable atrocities to which citizens of other countries are routinely subjected would be followed by a discussion of why such conditions are not mirrored in American society. That discussion leads much more naturally to the traditional material considered the bread and butter of Social Studies courses, such as the historical evolution of the modern American government structure and issues of civil rights and the technical aspects of American citizenship."Sample of Sources Used:
