I have already done the majority of it needs proof reading and possible editing for critical thinking.
In a five-page
paper, apply critical thinking to a selected social issue (
disability)
5-page paper.
In
this paper, you will demonstrate effective written and oral communication in
analyzing a social problem and the policies designed to address it. You should
follow the critical thinking approach discussed in class and in the Miniature
Guide to Critical Thinking.
Written
Argument
Your
paper should provide a well-evidenced critical argument following this
outline:
· Define why your chosen issue is a
‘social problem’ by documenting the magnitude (number
affected) and scope (who is affected) of the issue.
· Explain how the historical
ideologies (chose only 2 from this list):
–
U.S.
exceptionalism, Individualism, Independence, Protestant Work Ethic,
self-reliance, upward mobility, and equal opportunity) influenced the extent to
which America has treated your selected social issue as a social
problem.
· Describe two current
social policies designed to address it.
· If we are to fulfill social work’s
social justice mission, what sort of social policy approach (i.e., laws,
programs, budgetary allocations) is needed to address this social problem? In
other words, what is your best policy recommendation to address your social
problem.
Your
paper should demonstrate your ability to distinguish, appraise, and integrate
multiple sources of knowledge, including research-based knowledge, and practice
wisdom, as you lay out your critical thinking argument.
