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.

Critique of the Lost Boy

David Pelzer's autobiography The Lost Boy (1997) is a very moving and disturbing account of his childhood experiences of severe abuse by his mother and abandonment by his father. He was removed from his mother's custody at age 12 by Child Protective Services and ended up in a series of foster homes for the next six years. He rarely spent more than a few months in each one, and did not receive the necessary psychological counseling that would have helped him resolve the issues of abuse and abandonment. Although David was grateful to the foster care system and believed it had literally saved his life, he recognized that it was often overwhelmed with the sheer volume of abuse cases and lacked a sufficient number of social workers and foster homes. On the whole, though, he was very satisfied with the social worker who saved him from his alcoholic and violently abusive mother and certain that she was a very caring individual. Had the system identified this abuse sooner instead of sending him back to his mother, he would certainly have been better off, but whether his severely disturbed mother would have benefited from treatment is more problematic. Essentially, the system worked by removing this child from the home but failed in certain important areas of follow up as he was passed from one foster home to another. He became very isolated and alienated, did poorly in school, and failed to make emotional bonds with any of his peers. Fortunately, though, David was particularly resilient and was able to obtain a GED at age 18 and then enlisted in the Air Force.
