Sociology Question

Overview

In your final presentation, due in Week 10, you will advocate for socially just systems change that addresses a specific social problem. Part of this presentation is also identifying the elements related to oppression and social justice. Thus far, you have been building material for your social problem informed by the weekly discussion. Use this material as you draft a proposal for the final presentation.

In this assignment, create a proposal that addresses all required topics and organization for your presentation: introduction, topic areas (per the rubric criteria), and personal examples, case study examples, and references to the literature. Note that the rubric criteria for this written proposal are the same as those for your final presentation.

The work that you do in this assignment will serve as the foundational material for your Week 10 assignment, so the more detailed you are here, the easier your final presentation will be to complete.
