The rebellion against Capitalism

  The Problem Analysis Paper gives students an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to analyze and understand a social problem sociologically. Each student will select an issue or problem from the list provided on D2L or suggest an alternative topic for instructor approval. After approval, the student will write a 5-10 page paper addressing the following questions. What individuals, groups, categories, or classes of people claim that your chosen issue is a social problem? What beliefs, values, goals, or interests are motivating them? Are those concerned liberals, conservatives, both, or neither? What individuals, groups, categories, or classes of people, if any, are opposing such claims? What beliefs, values, goals, or interests motivate this opposition? Are those opposed liberals, conservatives, both, or neither? What are the major claims and arguments made by those seeking to have the condition defined as social problem? What about those who oppose them? What facts are presented by each side? How do they seek to motivate people to take action? What actions are they seeking? What tactics and techniques do the groups involved employ? How do they get their message out? How do they make use of the mass media? What resources do they have to help them get their message out? What outcomes does each side seek? What solutions do they propose? If multiple solutions are proposed, what are they and who is proposing them? Do liberals and conservatives offer alternative solutions? If so, what are they? It should be typed using 10 or 12 point type, double-spaced, with one inch margins and saved as either a Microsoft Word or pdf file.
