Assignment
Instructions:
Complete a 5-7 page final paper that analyzes the future impact of a social problem of your choice - note: you must use a DIFFERENT social problem from the one you used in your first assignment. In this assignment, you will cover:
1. The scope of this social problem over the last 30-50 years. (Note: you will need to use historical data to articulate the scope of this problem.)
2. Your own original analysis of how you think addressing the social problem could be improved. In this analysis, please mention what you think should be done to solve this social problem. Use your own viewpoint and voice, as a sociologist, rather than relying heavily on sources for this section.
3. Define four concepts from our readings/materials that relate to your chosen social problem and analyze how these concepts help us better understand the social problem you are discussing. Concepts include ideas such as stratification, ethnicity, gentrification, sexism, and others as mentioned in our readings and materials (NOTE: these are just examples of concepts - they may NOT apply to your topic - you need to select concepts that apply to your own topic).
4. Define one sociological theory from our readings/materials that relates to your chosen social problem and analyze how this theory helps us better understand the social problem you are discussing. Sociological theories include functionalism, conflict theory, feminist theory, symbolic interactionism, and others as mentioned in our readings and materials.
