Social Science BEHS210 WEEK 4 ASSIGNMENT HELP

Submission Feedback

Overall Feedback

Thank you for the submission, Lauren. You selected a homelessness, which is on topic per the requirements. 

What city do you live in and what specific questions do you have about the topic of homelessness? Describe some of the unique issues with homelessness in your city. Perhaps compare one service in your city and another city (which is doing it better), for example. 

Please use headings and subheadings, if necessary, to structure your paper. Each main idea needs its own paragraph too. The headings will help break up your paper. 

Sociology is both macro and micro. For purposes of your paper, I would not discuss more than 1 social institution (keep it narrow). Understanding the mental health experience is a sociological approach.
