What Does the Population Look Like? Consider Age, Racial Identification, Income, and any other Relevant Characteristics

In this paper you have to utilize approaches from sociology, economics, and Political Science to analyze the following:
Social Structure of the Community: What does the population look like? Consider age, racial identification, income, and any other relevant characteristics. What are the dominant groups? Which groups are in the minority? Why? How do they interact? Thinking more deeply, what issues are particularly relevant or important to these groups of people, or sub-sets of groups within this community?
Local economy: What does this community produce? Are its capabilities matched by its population, or do outsiders commute in? Is there competition amongst the various groups for limited goods? Does the local economy facilitate social mobility? How does the economic situation affect public policy in the community or region (need for social programs, economic assistance, business incentives, etc.)?
Politics and Governance: What regimes exist (e.g., local government, chambers of commerce, development boards, etc.)? What local political units exist (school districts, police departments, etc.)? How do structures of government interact with the social and economic structures of the community (i.e., who governs? Who produces what? Who profits?)? According to your opinion, is the community well governed? How do you know?
Place in the World: What opportunities and challenges exist as a local political community within the broader global community? In other words, how will this community adapt to a global world? What can it offer and what are its challenges? Are the social, political, and economic variables in place to help the community to adapt to a global environment and changing markets? What is the impact of globalization on your community, on the operation of the dominant economies and markets, and on societal behavior (e.g., on class structure, on gender, on the family, on the worker, etc.)
Although you can get much of the information for your profile over the internet, you are required to obtain a live interview (in-person or telephone) with an elected official or candidate for elected office in your jurisdiction. One question in your interview will be, “how does LOWER PROVIDENCE depend on the broader global community, how does it benefit it, and how might it be threatened by it?” The object of your interview is to identify the challenges and opportunities facing the locality and its residents.
CONCLUSION – be sure to discuss how each of the three elements (i.e., the social, political, and economic structures) relates to the present and future prospects of this jurisdiction. Which best explains the current situation? What can each offer, and what are the limits of each?
Please note that a good paper does not only draw on different disciplinary approaches, but also makes an attempt to integrate them. For example, it is not enough to simply describe the community’s social, economic, and political structures; you need to also analyze how these structures interact (i.e., how do different groups compete for economic goods and how is this competition facilitated or impeded by political structures; what is the relationship between public policy and group and/or economic structures)? DO NOT PRESENT A RUNDOWN OF DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION AND STATISTICS AS FILLER! The goal of the paper is to discuss the attributes of a place, not the results of a census. If you feel it is relevant, you may certainly state that an area is “diverse,” “has a higher-than-average household income,” etc., but don’t bore us with a recitation of the municipality’s city-data.com page!
You must cite all sources of paraphrased, referenced, and quoted material that you use in your profile. Both websites and interview require the date of access of the sources.
