SOLUTIONS PROJECT Articulate an informed vision on future research ideas AND structural solutions to your social problem. Find one country that is doing well in solving or reducing your social problem and figure out the ways in which they are going about solving or reducing this social problem. How are they making a significant impact? Find the programs or policies that are working by finding 2 scholarly peer reviewed sources (preferably sociology or criminology, but not mandatory). You may also use the country's government websites as sources. Create a 5-10 minute video (preferred) or prezi presentation. Explain both your literature review (social problem in the U.S.), and your structural solutions (country and policies or programs). You will present these to the class in a forum and every student will peer review 3 projects.? GUIDELINES & REQUIREMENTS 1.) Present your social problem in the US. Give an overall summary of what you learned and presented in your literature review. Give statistics to help us understand why this is an important social problem. 2.) Present your solution country. Give an overall summary of what you learned and what they are doing to reduce/solve the social problem. Give statistics that show us the difference between this country and the US, in regards to your social problem. 3.) Be very specific and give 2-3 structural solutions to your social problem (remember structural change comes from institutions - not individuals). 4.) Post your project in the assignment link as well as the Peer Review Forum. Make sure it is in a format everyone can access easily. Submit a reference page of your Solutions resources.

This assignment is the second in a series of four assignments on the same topic, due in Weeks 2, 4, 7, and 9. The assignments build upon each other. In this assignment, you introduce the topic problem and explain its history and how it is currently affecting the community. This sets the stage for your Week 7 assignment, in which you focus on solutions to the topic problem. Remember, as a reporter or Department of Justice investigator, you are using your critical thinking and information literacy skills to assess an ethnic, racial, gender, or class issue causing problems for and affecting a specific community or group of people. Your goal is to provide both an in-depth analysis of and put a human face on this issue by writing an article or report that will be presented at a professional conference. Preparation For this assignment, write the first part of your article or report, focusing on the history of the subject, current issues, and problems caused by the issues. Requirements Write a paper in which you: Create an introduction for your article clearly stating the topic area and the purpose of the article or report. Move from the general to the specific: Begin with a quote, question, statistic, or another item (from your credible sources) that grabs your reader's interest. End your introduction with a thesis statement explaining what you will present in your article. The Strayer Library's Drafting page contains helpful information on developing a thesis statement. Your introduction should be 1-2 paragraphs. Describe 2-3 major historical factors of the past 50-100 years relevant to this topic area. These factors can include social events, attitudes, wars, laws, the economy, the political environment, and the like. Analyze how those historical factors contribute to 2-3 major current issues or problems in this topic area. Those current issues or problems can be economic, social, political, legal, or the like. Describe 1-2 groups of people affected by the issues and problems. Include 2-3 quotes and/or paraphrased comments from the people affected (using and crediting your reliable sources). Use five or more credible, relevant, and reliable references in addition to the textbook. This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The library is your home for SWS assistance, including citations and formatting. Please refer to the Library site for all support. Check with your professor for any additional instructions. The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is: Analyze historical events, current events, and trends that impact various cultural groups within a diverse and complex society.

Instructions Complete the attached template by addressing the following: Government. The three branches of government are sometimes described as a three-legged stool that stabilizes the government. Explain what is meant by that statement and what would happen if one leg of the stool were not functioning, using specific details or examples. Judicial Review. Discuss why judicial review is important, using specific details or examples. Federal Court. Provide an example of a Supreme Court decision that affects our society today and explain its impact using specific details, and cite your source(s). Provide an example of a Federal Court decision that impacts individual states and explain its impact using specific details, and cite your source(s). State Courts. Because no two state constitutions or legislative bodies are alike, it is not surprising that the jurisdictions of State Courts vary from one state to another. Discuss the impact this has on society in states where crimes are not processed equally, using specific details or examples, and cite your source(s).

Complex Trauma Assessing Trauma - Share Your Perspectives In Modules 12 and 13, we learned about clients who experience complex trauma as well as how complex trauma is treated. Please reflect on what stood out to you from these materials. Some questions to consider: What new information, skills, or insights did you gain complex trauma and the treatment of it? Was there anything that surprised you or made you reconsider previous assumptions you may have had? What challenges do you anticipate when working with clients who experience complex trauma? How might you handle those challenges? What are your thoughts about complex trauma not being included in the DSM-5?

You want to display specific knowledge of the texts/movies below with your answers. Avoid summary or generalization by working closely with specifics. Titles go in italics. List timecode with scene references. To receive full credit for your answer, when you first mention a movie make sure you give the full title, director(s) last name, and date in this format: Citizen Kane (Welles, 1941). Write a five paragraph, single spaced essay, with an additional work cited page (MLA style) at the end. Your essay should follow this outline: PARAGRAPH ONE - INTRODUCTION - introduce Brecht & Weill's The Seven Deadly Sins as directed by Peter Sellars and Tennessee Williams' Ten Blocks on the Camino Real as you frame a connective through line argument about both works with a clear "if ______________, then _________________, and so ___________________" thesis at the conclusion of the paragraph. PARAGRAPH TWO - start with a strong topic sentence - unpack the representations of the cities in Brecht & Weill's The Seven Deadly Sins— the unnamed city (for Faulheit/Sloth), Memphis, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore and San Francisco in Brecht & Weill's The Seven Deadly Sins. Despite being a work of grotesquery, what truth does this abrasive satire suggest in each city? Collectively what do all seven cities suggest about the USA? what does director Peter Sellars add to Brecht/Weill and what are his effects? PARAGRAPH THREE - start with a strong topic sentence - unpack what the (location of) Camino Real might be, and enter the debate if it is allegorical, and why or why not. Continue by examining what Ten Blocks on the Camino Real (the one-act play) says about the city and cities. PARAGRAPH FOUR - start with a strong topic sentence - connect ("add up") your interpretations of Brecht & Weill's The Seven Deadly Sins with your interpretations of William's Ten Blocks on the Camino Real - how are they similar works and how are they different? explore them both as visual media works, and as literary texts - what do they each contribute to the idea of "the imaginary city"? PARAGRAPH FIVE - CONCLUSION - reach an original conclusion about Brecht & Weill's The Seven Deadly Sins and William's Ten Blocks on the Camino Real - are they relevant works, why or why not? - what can both works tell us about urban life? how are real cities different than imaginary ones?

Matters of race, ethnicity, class, gender, and sexuality are often in the public eye, and tend to be at the center of many passionate (and unfortunately even violent) conflicts.  While discussing diversity in the context of institutions and organizations remains important, it is as important to ask to what extent we accept diversity and difference as a society.  One such case occurred August 11th, 2017 when a white nationalist group marched in protest of the potential removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee from the campus of the University of Virginia.  Local organizations such as the NAACP and citizens of the town had argued that the statue (erected in 1924) needed to be removed as it was a symbol of the enslavement and oppression faced by blacks in the South.  You may read more details of the case at the following link: The New York Times—The Statue at the Center of Charlottesville's Storm - HTML  The New York Times—The Statue at the Center of Charlottesville's Storm - PDF Document (204 KB)

Though Sociologists have long studied race, class, gender, and other categories of identity, those who argue for the merits of Intersectional Theory claim that it offers a distinct advantage in understanding the power of such categories.  What do you believe is that advantage?  Put in terms of this course, how would studying diversity through the lens of Intersectional Theory give you a better understanding than studying diversity without it?

Berger and Luckmann state that we are born into an 'objective social structure' and that we have only a limited ability to subjectively appropriate and interpret it for ourselves.  Discuss how the categories of race, gender, and class predate any one individual, and how we are bound to identify ourselves in relation to them.  To what extent can an individual redefine themselves in relation to these categories, and what are the possible social sanctions they may face for doing so?

Affirmative Action Policies have long been a source of hope, controversy, and resentment among the American people.  Even as inequality along racial and gender lines persists in universities and workplaces, Americans disagree as to the best way to remediate these problems.  Please read the following articles on the recent Supreme Court decision that ended the race-based affirmative action policies which have shaped college admissions processes for decades. You will then write a speech on the issue as if you are presenting it to an academic conference hosted by National University—although you are writing it as a speech you are required to use formal, scholarly language and cite your sources properly.   Specifically, you will focus on the issue of Affirmative Action policies as they apply to college admissions, and the continuing need to address diversity in higher education by examining the policies struck down by the court and reflecting upon alternatives. Here are the links to the articles: https://www.npr.org/2023/06/29/1181138066/affirmat... https://www.insidehighered.com/news/admissions/tra... https://www.dailyprincetonian.com/article/2023/07/...  The parameters for your response are as follows: You must cite a minimum of 3 scholarly sources—news media articles do not count as scholarly sources, only peer-reviewed journals, books, etc.  Provide data from peer-reviewed sources on racial and gender inequality in higher education.  Be as specific as possible and remember to name your sources directly so that your audience knows that they are high quality and reliable.  Do not be afraid to quote sources directly with pertinent statistics or insights.  Review the traditional arguments (including relevant Supreme Court cases over the last half century) made by those who are conventionally in favor affirmative action policies and those against.  Be sure to note whether these arguments are consistent with the data made available by scholarly studies on the topic, particularly as they pertain to the issue of college admissions and diversity in higher education.  Take a clear position, either in defense of conventional affirmative action policies in higher education or you may argue for the need for a more novel approach to the topic.  Be specific in why you are taking your position and defend that position with data from peer-reviewed studies.  Remember, you are making an appeal to the public in a town hall and advocating for why your solutions are the best course of action!    You must include a works cited (not part of the word count) at the end. Your response should include considerable reflection on the pertinent course terms and concepts, failing to reference these consistently throughout will result in a deduction.
