Intercultural social problems paper: Part I, a culture known to you
Using the topic from your proposal, use the information from the textbook and material covered in class to make the argument that the issue you have chosen is a social problem.
Identify the claims being made, the groups that are making the claims, and how these claims makers are attempting to influence social policies.
Ensure you discuss:
Why this topic fits the definition of a social problem.
The extent of this social problem in your native culture.
The various social groups affected by this social problem in your native culture.
The impact of this social problem on your native culture.
The policies or processes that have been proposed or implemented to solve this social problem in your native culture. Evaluate their effectiveness. (Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of proposed or implemented policy.)
Intercultural competence: How the history, values, politics, communication styles, economy, or beliefs and practices of your native culture influence this issue.
Intercultural competence: Your cultural self-awareness, an appropriate cultural worldview framework, empathy, elements of appropriate verbal and nonverbal communication, empathy, curiosity, and openness relative to this social problem.
Expand your paper by using information from the textbook and material covered in class to strengthen the argument that the issue you have chosen is a social problem. Identify the claims being made, the groups that are making the claims, and how these claims makers are attempting to influence social policies – in both your native culture and a comparison culture.
Include new material discussing the same social problem in a culture that is not your native culture. COMPARE the social problem in your native culture the the same social problem in a different culture.
When comparing the social problem to a different culture, make sure you address the same components listed for the first paper:
The extent of this social problem in a different culture than your native culture.
The various social groups affected by this social problem.
The impact of this social problem on this society.
The policies or processes that have been proposed or implemented to solve this social problem in this comparison society and evaluate their effectiveness. (Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of proposed or implemented policy.)
Intercultural competence: How the history, values, politics, communication styles, economy, or beliefs and practices of this culture influenced this issue.
Intercultural competence: Your cultural self-awareness, an appropriate cultural worldview framework, empathy, elements of appropriate verbal and nonverbal communication, empathy, curiosity, and openness
