INSTRUCTION
For your research essay, you are to suppose that you were given the economic resources and political clout to reduce a major social problem. Choose a social problem and craft your paper around the following questions:
Which problem would you choose, and why?
What is its historical context of this issue? When did it arise? How has it changed over time?
What are the impacts and consequences of this social problem on the individual, the family, society?
What steps would you take to alleviate this problem?
What theories best help you understand the problem?
Paying attention to the intersections of social class, gender, ethnicity, and sexuality, how would you measure your success or failure in reducing or eliminating the problem?
Make sure your research essay incorporates, as appropriate, an analysis of social class, gender, ethnicity, power, and neoliberalism.
