Section 1:

Choose a "private problem" that could be indicative of a systemic issue. (DIVORCE)

Find a reliable graph or chart that illustrates that divorce could be a systemic issue. In other words, evidence your claim (no Wikipedia, please). explain your findings in relation to the issue.

Discuss American attitudes, minority treatment, and/or historical events that could contribute to this potential systemic issue.

Section 2:

Show a Planned Change Model for that imaginary person with divorce. Remember to address each of the following points of that model

• Engagement: Assuming you've had no prior knowledge of a person who's been referred to you with this issue, what would this type of communication look like with a person with divorce?
• Assessment: Examine divorce through the micro, macro, and mezzo sociological lenses.
• Planning: Once you've assessed the situation, how would you go about planning remedies/solutions?
• Implementation: How do you make sure that solutions are implemented? Do you rely on the person who has divorce or do you do it yourself?
• Evaluation: What controlled environment could you use to evaluate the effectiveness of how well your plans addressed divorce? What does that communication sound like? How do you deal with an issue that was NOT resolved by a potential solution?
• Termination: At what point do you, as a social worker or other professional, decide that your imaginary person's "private problem" is solved?
• What are two to three indicators that your imaginary client has felt empowered and learned the skills to achieve social/economic justice?
• How often do you think this should happen? What does this look like?
