Poverty - A Social Problem In Today's Society
Select the social problems we will be studying this quarter in class, poverty, and inequality. Describe the problem from your current understanding (e.g., why is it a societal problem?). Explain why you think the problem exists (e.g. what created the problem, what in society causes the problem to continue to exist?).
Select one of the theoretical perspectives we have discussed in class. Explain the key components and apply the perspective to the social problem that you discussed in AM#1. What is the difference between your personal explanation in AM#1 and the theoretical explanation? (I will upload the theoretical perspectives lecture)
Identify an article (from a newspaper or on-line source like CNN, Aljazeera, NPR, Seattle Times) that talks about a contemporary social problem. What is the problem? How does the article describe the problem (e.g., to what does the article attribute the existence of the problem? Does the author discuss any particular cause? Or, how does it identify the solution to any particular source?). Relate one of the course's theoretical perspectives to the article. Explain why you chose this perspective.
Thinking about the social problem you identified in AM#3, select the theoretical perspective that you think best explains the existence of the problem. Walk through why the theoretical perspective is the “best” one - from your perspective - to explain the existence of the problem.
