An exciting component of this course is that you can decide for yourself what contemporary issue is most relevant for discussion based on your readings in the course and your practice experiences. You are welcome to email your instructor and discuss your options if you wish.
Also, unless you are writing from a historical perspective, use references that are no more than 5 years since publication (2016). Your course text is not to be considered one of the eight references, but you certainly may use it in your paper, but be sure to put it in your reference list.
