Social Analysis Report Assignment

Topic - Drug and Addiction

Using the topic identified in your Social Analysis Project Proposal, each group will be required to analyze a social problem/issue using one of the frameworks presented in class (outlined in the GNED 500 textbook). Proposal feedback received from the professor should be used in the analysis and development of the report. One social analysis report should be submitted per group.

Report should be organized and should include headings and sub headings along with the name of the individual responsible for completing the respective section (name printed beside heading or sub heading).

Reports should be 5 to 6 pages (not including cover page or references) and consist of the following components:

• Introduction
o Identifying and defining the social problem
o Connecting the social problem to the GNED500 course
o Locate themselves personally or professionally

• Social Analysis
o Conduct a social analysis using one of the frameworks presented in class
o Present a diversity of perspectives on the issue and support your arguments with research from credible academic sources (see annotated bibliography for proposal)
o Analysis should be in depth (2-3 paragraphs for each level of analysis)

• Conclusion
o Summarize main points of the analysis on the social problem
o Outlined two brief recommendations for social action
- Using information gathered from the social analysis and feedback from the instructor, students will develop a set of recommendations for social action
- Recommendations must be appropriate and within the scope of the group's ability (SMART goals; specific, measurable, assignable, realistic, timely)
