Societal dilemmas are varied and numerous.
In Chapter 7 of this volume, societal dilemmas were associated with the tensions that exist between the values, needs, and interests of individuals, on one hand, and the values, needs, and interests of society at large, on the other. As we know, the world is constantly changing. Whether the changes are intentional or unintentional, they are often accompanied by positive and negative consequences . While exploring these real-life societal dilemmas, students learn relevant vocabulary in context and become more comfortable using English to discuss topics of a serious nature. The ideas presented here are meant to serve as a starting point for teachers interested in exploring one aspect of societal dilemmas with their students.
