In Lessons 1-4, you have learned a great deal of information on theoretical explanations of social problems and how topics such as prostitution, pornography, substance abuse, crime, and poverty can be seen as social problems. This written assignment will allow you to provide practical application of concepts learned from Lessons 1-4. This written assignment contains two parts.
First, you will describe the various theoretical explanations of social problems and the relationship of social problems to the quality of life.

Within your written analysis, you need to identify one of the three main theoretical frameworks of social problems discussed in the course and explain how this theoretical framework relates to the article selected. When selecting your article, please make sure the article identifies one of the subjects discussed within Lessons 1-4.
