This genre is applied to titles pertaining to social topics such as the study of other cultures, the examination of social or activist movements, pop culture and social trends, current events, race and gender, political movements and trends, and other various national and international social issues. Titles are usually contemporary rather than historical (that is, the topic documented is a current issue at the time the program is made, rather than a retrospective look at a period of time and its social events).
