Below is a list of the social issues my students will be provided. They will have an option to choose several to write about throughout the course of the semester. I am looking for builds in Second Life that would be appropriate to send them to to "experience" some aspect of these issues.
If you can think of any builds, or have the SLURLs, or would like to add an issue, please do so in the comments.

I also have a large selection of religious sites in SL on my Flickr account (cathedrals, temples, mosques) - some of which have the slurls: http://www.flickr.com/photos/marfita/sets/72157602108231761/
And there is a Humanism area:

AJ! HUGE LIST!
I have prepared a folder of LMs for my eng. 216 class ("Invented Worlds" at http://writing2.richmond.edu/jessid/eng216/ ). I'll drop that inventory on you when I'm in-world.
For starters however, the SL homeless community has built quite a world at Caletta...and as a journalist I'm covering the Jessie sim, home to two wars between residents and still a place whose entry point says "You can die here."
I actually pack a SL gun when I go there. Good place to explore the culture of violence and how it reflects in virtual worlds.
Hope this helps!
