think about a social problem that is not in this list, think about one then follow intruction
Pick an issue that was NOT listed in the list of 10 with which we started the semester.
Using the learning objectives of Chapter 1, section 1, #1:
Explain why the issue should be a social problem.
Using the learning objectives of Chapter 1, section 1, #2:
Identify the OBJECTIVE component and the SUBJECTIVE component.
Using the learning objectives of Chapter 1, section 1, #4:
Walk your chosen issue through the FOUR (4) stages.
What could you do in the claims-making stage?
How might you legitimize your issue?
What might you do in the face of adversity?
What else might you have to do to make your issue a problem?
Think of this assignment as a proposal to get your issue some attention from whoever is the most appropriate leader.
[Writing tip: Avoid the use of 1st person (I, me, mine) and 2nd person (you, yours, us, our). However. 2nd person tense is OK if it used when writing about a group. For instance, “our group” is 2nd person and is an appropriate use; “You wouldn’t believe…” is an inappropriate use of 2nd person. Instead, “Many/Some people don’t believe…”]
This proposal is due June 5th by 11:59 PM. It is worth up to 20 points (you can think of each stage as worth five (5) points. There is a rubric attached to the assignment for you to reference. There is also an attached file of this activity.
(I hate Bb’s formatting would more appropriately be written, “The formatting function of Blackboard is inefficient.”)
