Need sociology help to choose a problem you would like to solve within society

Step One

Choose a problem you would like to solve within society. This could be about environmental issues, human trafficking, etc. You will use this issue throughout the course and come back to it to look at the issue through a variety of sociological perspectives. Be sure to choose an issue that will allow you to look up peer reviewed sources (academic journals) so that you can review them for the benefit of looking at your issue. The reason for using academic journals is so that you can obtain the most unbiased information possible. This will be especially important for political issues, if you choose these. Political issues must have unbiased data associated with them in order to remove emotional connections. If you do not feel as though you can remove the emotional connection you have to an issue, it is most sincerely important to consider not writing about that issue.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: If you use ProQuest and you choose a specific article, you will see a small icon in the upper right area that says “Cite”. If you click on this, you will get the citation that will be ready for you to copy and paste into your “References” section of the paper.

How would someone experiencing the problem develop meaning about the problem?
