What is Issues?

Personal issues as an academic subject appears across nearly every discipline because real-world problems rarely stay neatly within a single field. Students in business, healthcare, ethics, economics, political science, and social sciences are routinely asked to identify, analyze, and propose solutions to concrete problems. What makes this broad topic academically compelling is that "issues" require writers to move beyond description — they must diagnose causes, weigh competing interests, and evaluate consequences. Whether the context is a company's ethical conduct, a public health challenge, or a policy dispute, the underlying intellectual task is the same: transforming a messy problem into a structured argument.

The papers archived here reflect a wide range of analytical approaches. Case studies dominate, examining specific organizations, individuals, and scenarios to draw broader conclusions — from business conduct at companies like Office Depot to ethical dilemmas in healthcare settings. Other papers take a diagnostic angle, identifying conflict or systemic dysfunction in real-world situations. Policy-oriented work appears as well, including economic analysis and explorations of fiscal policy problems. Some papers engage with research-based topics such as stem cell research and mental health supervision, blending scientific evidence with ethical reasoning.

A strong essay on personal issues begins with a clearly scoped problem statement that specifies who is affected, under what conditions, and why the issue matters. Evidence carries the most weight when it comes from credible sources directly tied to the case or context being examined. The most common pitfall is treating the issue as self-evident — strong papers define the problem precisely before attempting to address or resolve it.

Intelligence Pathologies the Church Committee

The Church Committee Investigations which began in 1974 after the Watershed Scandal in President Nixon's administration found that intelligence agencies had unlimited executive power. The committee found that intelligence agencies abused this power and harassed and disrupted targeted groups and individuals, spied on citizens, assassination plots, manipulation and infiltration of businesses and media. Recommendations made by the Church Committee in the 1970s concerning intelligence agencies have been overlooked. As President Nixon's administration gave more executive power to intelligence agencies during his reign, so did President Bush. Intelligence agencies acquired executive authority after 9/11 are founded on the rhetoric of the war on terrorism, finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and identifying the link between Iraq and Al-Qaida. The agencies have carried out executive authority of unwarranted surveillance at home and abroad, arresting and detaining citizens and groups in secret prisons abroad, using enhanced interrogation, and denying detainees legal representation. It is evident these executive power has made intelligence agencies intractable after 9/11 as they were in the post cold war era. This executive power has made intelligence checkpoints like the congressional oversight committees, FISA court and the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act invaluable.
