Why write a WSEE? It allows you to conduct an in-depth, interdisciplinary investigation into an issue of contemporary global importance that you care about

Examples of potential topics include:

Global health crisis                        Climate change                                 Terrorism
Energy migration                            Migration                                           Global health problems
Disaster relief & rehabilitation        Civil protest and unrest                     Global financial crisis
Disadvantaged groups                   Infringements on human rights         Discrimination and persecution   

The perspective of just one subject may not be adequate to address complex issues like these. The WSEE will require you to bring together aspects of different disciplines to examine your chosen topic. 

The IB recommends that you use two IB Diploma Programme subjects, one of which you must be studying. 

You're not expected to address the topic in its full complexity, but you should aim to generate understandings that are new to you.

It would be very easy for you to rely on common-sense understanding of a global issue or more informal insights. However, the academic nature of the EE requires you to understand a global issue through disciplinary lenses.
