Overview
For this assignment, you will delve deeper into a social problem that really interests you. This can be the social problem you identified in assignment one(conflict theory, symbolic interactionism and structural functionalism) or you can choose something new.

2. Select “one” social problem of your choice, explain why it is a social problem, and define the scope of this social problem (is it local, national, international) [2 slides]
3. Explore the history of your social problem. Think about how it has changed over time and what major milestones have impacted the problem.

Be sure to include some “text” under each milestone [at least 2 slides]
3. Next, analyze two significant ways that the chosen social problem impacts two groups; Do not select the same group(s) as your topic.
