Questions That Lead “Why is sexism bad?" is a leading question. It contains its own answer.
===Although they don't serve the purpose of guiding questions, leading questions are useful. Unless carefully constructed, leading questions may lack personality, concrete referents, and intrinsic interest.===

===The following lead rather than guide: Why is there inequitable distribution of food in the world?" How many kilocalories per day does an average human need?" or What 15 crops account for nearly all the world's agricultural production?"===

===Examples of Leading Questions Should species be allowed to become extinct? Why is Brand X better than Brand Y? Should there be national health care? Why isn’t there an equitable distribution of wealth? Why should we recycle? How can schools be improved?===
