Pick a social problem of your choice. In a well-written, 3-4 page paper, address the following questions:
What social problem are you focusing on? (Be sure to define a social problem)
What are the main causes or contributing factors to the social problem? (It is not necessary to use outside sources if you do a topic we covered in class—you may rely on the textbook. If you pick a topic outside of the scope of what we covered, make sure you use reliable, cited, scholarly sources for this step). Be sure you are using a sociological perspective (not an individual-based perspective).
What are the practical solutions to this problem?
What are the impractical solutions? In a world where money, politics, historical baggage, or other potentially blocking influences were not a problem, what would have to change for this social problem to not exist?
How might you solve this social problem?
