Introduction: Ethical and Diversity Issues

Issues of ethics and diversity are interrelated and are an important part of sociology. You must include information about how your policy issue or case study is related to these two areas. What ethical issues does the policy issue present or does the organization or program face? How is diversity addressed or handled? How is social inequality perpetuated or ameliorated?

Welcome to Week Three of Public Sociology Capstone course! In this week you’ll continue building your work for your paper—in particular, examining the issues of ethics and diversity related to the policy issue or case study you are focusing on. The questions of the week are: (1) what ethical issues does the policy issue present or does the organization or program you selected face?; (2) How is diversity addressed or handled with your policy issue or organization/program?; (3) How is social inequality perpetuated or ameliorated?

This week is largely an individual exploration of how ethics and diversity intersect with the policy issue or organization/program case study you selected.
