Other (Not Listed) Instructions:

Present one personal trouble in your life(for example, struggling to pay for college or to find a job that pays well, a time when you were discriminated against, etc. Now use your sociological imagination to relate your personal struggle to a larger social issue.

Share how your solutions to the problem differ depending on whether you viewed it as (a) an individual problem or (b) a societal issue.
