suggestions for readings

so, i am going to be teaching my first class this winter session and i was wondering whether anyone had any suggestions about course readings. the class is "current social and moral issues" and it's 3 weeks long. of course, i'll be covering the usual topics: abortion, euthanasia, blah, blah, blah, but i'm also looking to include readings regarding issues surrounding race and maybe the ethics of war. if anyone has any suggestions for readings or even topics i'd appreciate them.

You should think about teaching the Walzer-Luban debate in "International Ethics", ed. Beitz/Cohen/Scanlon/Simmons. Walzer's a just war theorist and Luban is a human rights hawk. McMahon told me to teach it when I asked him your question.
