In the final project, you will write a research-based paper exploring a contemporary social problem (the topic that you selected in Milestone One). The purpose of this milestone is to find the scholarly sources you will use as references for your final paper and to gather information about your topic. In this milestone, you will submit Mapping the Issue (Section II of your final project). This milestone is a PowerPoint presentation that will help you visualize the social issue and how it relates to the following sociological concepts: cultural beliefs and biases, social roles, social inequalities, and existing social conditions. PowerPoint will help you to organize the concepts and identify the conceptual relationships. Your PowerPoint presentation should be based on the elements that you provided in your Milestone One submission. This PowerPoint is a critical piece of your final project, which is due in Module Seven. You will include at least four scholarly references (APA format) in the final slide of your PowerPoint presentation to support your ideas with scholarly sources.
