I would write about enron and mention a little blurb on SOX and how it spawned from their lack of controls. But a whole section on it would be brutal for all parties.

9/11
2008 financial / housing crisis
internet and social media
Oil prices
Enron/Lehman
G20
Iraq/Afghan wars
Natural Gas exploration
Obama's election (maybe I dont want to include this due to my liberal professor and my conservative views...)
Invention of Smartphones
any other ideas?

the actual rules of sox are boring
but the reasons why sox came into being (i.e. the corporate abuse) is a really entertaining subject. bernard ebbers, john rigas/adelphia cable, al dunlap, and ken lay are all first rate jagoffs and really interesting cases becasue of their shenanigans

Plus we're still IMO just on the tip of streaming media which if you think about it will eventually make the home media player like DVD/Blu-ray totally obsolete.

This was my second after sox and frank dodd.
though i disagree in that streaming quality doesnt even begin to approach digital cable, let alone bluray or 4k, the digitalization of magazines, books, music, and movies is profoundly impacting the publishing and entertainment industries.
and with DVR it is tossing broadcasting and advertising on its head

mac mentioned enron as one of the topics. sox would probably fall under that headline

When you say "Past decade", I think mac is think 2000-2010 (because this decade is only 2 years in)

yes, OP said I wanted to stretch decade a bit specifically to include 9/11
