Just enough theory to use it
This topic supplies the big current debates the curriculum asks you to analyse with critical thinking: Is democracy in global decline? Are human rights truly universal or a Western export? When does surveillance protect and when does it corrode freedom? What does structural racism mean, and what did the statue debates actually disagree about? The analytical bar: define terms precisely, use documented cases from English-speaking countries, and present disagreement fairly before judging it.
