Week 7: Comparative Social Problem – Final Paper

Due Saturday by 11:59pm Points 200 Submitting a file upload

Incorporate the feedback on your first paper to revise and expand the discussion of the social problem in your native culture. (No feedback given other then the first copy was a great start)

 

Expand your paper by using information from the textbook and material covered in class to strengthen the argument that the issue you have chosen is a social problem. Identify the claims being made, the groups that are making the claims, and how these claims makers are attempting to influence social policies – in both your native culture and a comparison culture.

 

Include new material discussing the same social problem in a culture that is not your native culture. COMPARE the social problem in your native culture the the same social problem in a different culture.

 

When comparing the social problem to a different culture, make sure you address the same components listed for the first paper:

 

The extent of this social problem in a different culture than your native culture.

The various social groups affected by this social problem.

The impact of this social problem on this society.

The policies or processes that have been proposed or implemented to solve this social problem in this comparison society and evaluate their effectiveness. (Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of proposed or implemented policy.)

Intercultural competence: How the history, values, politics, communication styles, economy, or beliefs and practices of this culture influenced this issue.

Intercultural competence: Your cultural self-awareness, an appropriate cultural worldview framework, empathy, elements of appropriate verbal and nonverbal communication, empathy, curiosity, and openness

You must have at least 6 sources for this final paper. If your sources from the first paper were approved, you may use those and add 2 additional academic sources, ideally peer-reviewed journal articles. Other sources could include data and statistics from the World Bank or the United Nations.

 

All sources should be presented at the end of the paper and must be properly formatted in your preferred citation style. Again, the citation style must be consistent throughout the paper and bibliography. If you don’t know a style already, pick APA: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/general_format.htmlLinks to an external site.

 

Your paper must be typed, 1” margins, a standard font (preferably Times New Roman), 12 point, approximately 6-10 pages of text, excluding the sources.
