Scenario:

Your employer has asked you and several members of your team to investigate a social problem that is having an increasingly negative influence on the success of your organization (you may use the organization you work for now or choose one in your career field of interest). Your role as a team member is to investigate and present sociological theories that will help others consider a way to approach the social problem that the organization faces.

To prepare, take the following steps:

Select 1 sociological theory you think will best address the issue facing your organization.

Select 1 social problem relevant to your organization, and prepare to share the following:

Identify the organization and summarize the social problem and its effect on the organization.

Identify a relevant sociological theory and 1 or 2 theorists associated with the theory.

Summarize the theory's perspective and explain why it is relevant to the social problem facing your organization.

Explain how your organization might use the theory to approach understanding and solving the social problem.
