Analysis of a Community Social Problem

[Adapted from Leon-Guerrero (2008)]

A social problem is a condition that threatens the quality of life for people in a society and their most cherished values. It is a condition that a significant number of people believe should be remedied through collective action (Kornblum & Julian, 1998).

For this paper, read the textbook readings for this week. Then identify a social problem in your own community similar to one that is discussed in chapters 14 & 15. It must be a social problem that is currently being addressed through some type of community service, intervention, policy, etc. For example, your community may be addressing homelessness through shelters, street outreach, church outreach/ministry, etc.

Answer the following questions in your paper:

Why is this issue considered a social problem? (1paragraph; use references - i.e., do some research, gets statistics, etc.) : HOMELESSNESS AND HOUSING PROGRAMS IN THE CITY OF CLEARWATER FL

When, how, and where did this problem originate? Has it been around a while? Are we just seeing it publicized more? (1-2 paragraphs)

What other social problems are related to this one? List all of the social problems that are related to the problem that you chose – both as a cause of it and as an effect of it (i.e., homelessness is related to unemployment). (1-2 paragraphs; use references)

What groups/segments of the population are affected by this problem?

Who is hurt by it? Is anyone immune?

Think critically: Who benefits (or stands to gain) from this problem? (Explain your answer!)

How does it affect you personally? Think about your own life and how this problem intersects with it. Address this question even if you have never encountered the problem yourself.

What is being done in your community to address the problem – be specific (i.e., what services, policies, etc.). (This might be 4-6 paragraphs; do some research; you may want to talk to a representative of the services for information; how does the service, policy, etc. address the issue/help the victims, etc.)

What else do you think could be done, and by whom, to alleviate the problem? Address all possible solutions that you can think of.

What are the barriers to resolving the issue? (i.e., why is the problem not being resolved?)

Summarize/Conclusion (1 paragraph)
