Describe the current system or the way things are currently done. Get as detailed as warranted, researching the applicable law, current guidelines or any other appropriate body of information to document how the “unjust” system currently operates.
Why do you think the current system is unjust? Who suffers? Who benefits? Why is that unfair?
How would you fix the problem? Describe, in detail, how you would solve the injustice.
Anticipate the arguments that your opponents may have to your idea. How would you combat those arguments?
