Please make sure to reference the diagram in the chapter to give you some idea of where we stand with regard to the social construction of social problems process.\u00a0 Chapter 9\u00a0is quite methodical about how to evaluate different policies; that is, on what grounds can we critique a particular policy. \u00a0 <\/p>\n
For this assignment, consider TWO different policies with regard to the same problem. \u00a0For example, the “THREE STRIKES AND YOU’RE OUT” mandatory sentencing guidelines that were implemented in the 90s have had questionable outcomes. \u00a0What would be the other, alternative policy to this policy? \u00a0Select either an already existing or pre-existing policy from another nation or time period and explain\u00a0 on what basis is this policy preferable? \u00a0Succinctly cite a reputable source about the basic terms of the policy in order to argue why your proposed policy rests on better ideological\u00a0grounds, is more fitting or less open to abuse, or completely redefines the “problem.” \u00a0<\/p>\n

We’ve reached the point of the course at which you should be familiar with the entire social construction of social problems process. \u00a0The current chapter, titled, “Claims across space and time” intends to direct your analytical attention to COMPARATIVE or cross-cultural approaches to the social scientific study of social problems. The chapter lays out several factors with regard to which social problems could be fruitfully compared. \u00a0<\/p>\n
For this extended assignment (you will have until the end of next week to complete it), you will have to carry out some more extensive social and historical research to uncover some details about certain\u00a0social problems that would otherwise be obscure. \u00a0The boxes on Page 321 and 328, along with the case study on page 337 (on statues and flags) features brief comparative perspectives on the social construction of different problems in different cities and periods. \u00a0 Please read those because they provide very good EXAMPLES of the right set of basic questions you will be asking yourself in this assignment. \u00a0 <\/p>\n
For this assignment, you will select ONE social problem and compare instances of the social problem process associated with this specific social problem: \u00a0 <\/p>\n
CHOOSE ONE\u00a0OPTION: \u00a0 <\/p>\n
(1) compare the construction of a\u00a0social problem in the same place but at different times. \u00a0Write a persuasive\u00a01 page\u00a0response citing academic, journalistic, or historical sources. \u00a0Identify the primary claims\/frame, secondary claims by experts or activists, public reaction, and policy proposals at each time. \u00a0 <\/p>\n
(2) compare the construction of a social problems at different places during the same period of time. \u00a0Write a persuasive, minimum 1 page response citing academic, journalistic, or historical sources. \u00a0Identify the primary claims\/frame and secondary claims by experts or activists, public reaction, and policy proposals at each place (city, county, even state). \u00a0 <\/p>\n
(3) Analyze expert or activist\u00a0claimsmaker campaigns with the\u00a0same types\u00a0of claims for apparently 2 or 3\u00a0different social problems.\u00a0 (For example, are there claimsmakers\u00a0that lump excessive video game usage and drug use through the use of\u00a0 the same set of claims?) \u00a0Why have claimsmakers\u00a0privileged one set of claims or frames when others are possible? \u00a0What policy proposals follow from this set of claims? \u00a0Write a persuasive, minimum 1 page response citing academic, journalistic, or historical sources. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
