Context
Community/public health nursing is nursing care that is population-focused and occurs in non-hospital settings. Numerous nursing theories can provide the structure for community/public health nursing; however, nursing theories that incorporate components of the general systems theory frequently provide the framework for the practice of community/public health nursing.
Historically, nurses have made significant contributions to the field of public health. From providing maternal-child care to poor women in the late 1800s, to promoting hygiene among school aged children in the early 1900s, to providing environmental and safety care to industrial workers during World War I, nurses have been instrumental in shaping health policies (Maurer & Smith, 2013). Today, community/public health nurses have a key role in identifying and developing plans of care to address local, national, and international health issues.
Many factors influence the health of communities and populations, including national policies that focus on health promotion. Healthy People, a major national health promotion program issued by the U.S. Surgeon General, identifies major health problems of the nation and sets national goals and objectives targeting health promotion (Maurer & Smith, 2013). If adopted, activities that target health promotion can result in disease prevention.

· Context
· Social and lifestyle behaviors can affect health. In fact, some would argue that many, if not most, health risks can be mitigated through lifestyle and behavioral changes. With this in mind, the health care provider must be aware of the socioeconomic factors and the lifestyle factors present in a population.
· SHOW LESS
· Both social and cultural factors influence many lifestyle factors. Living environment, housing conditions, employment factors, diet, and cultural beliefs all play a role in a person's levels of risk and resulting health. The nursing assessment must include these social influences as part of the domain necessary for evaluation and inclusion in the assessment approach, and integrate a framework for analysis, which includes all the social milieus associated with each dimension.
· Evidence-based health assessments are done using health data from private and public organizations. There are many opportunities for gathering health data in a community, through public health systems and through private records, where approval has been obtained from participants.
· Collecting primary data must involve informed consent. Secondary sources can also be used by obtaining aggregate data from health plans and health care providers that do not include personalized demographic data. Each of these data sources .

· Context
· Social and lifestyle behaviors can affect health. In fact, some would argue that many, if not most, health risks can be mitigated through lifestyle and behavioral changes. With this in mind, the health care provider must be aware of the socioeconomic factors and the lifestyle factors present in a population.
· SHOW LESS
· Both social and cultural factors influence many lifestyle factors. Living environment, housing conditions, employment factors, diet, and cultural beliefs all play a role in a person's levels of risk and resulting health. The nursing assessment must include these social influences as part of the domain necessary for evaluation and inclusion in the assessment approach, and integrate a framework for analysis, which includes all the social milieus associated with each dimension.
· Evidence-based health assessments are done using health data from private and public organizations. There are many opportunities for gathering health data in a community, through public health systems and through private records, where approval has been obtained from participants.
· Collecting primary data must involve informed consent. Secondary sources can also be used by obtaining aggregate data from health plans and health care providers that do not include personalized demographic data. Each of these data sources .

Assignment: Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue
The Quadruple Aim provides broad categories of goals to pursue to maintain and improve healthcare. Within each goal are many issues that, if addressed successfully, may have a positive impact on outcomes. For example, healthcare leaders are being tasked to shift from an emphasis on disease management often provided in an acute care setting to health promotion and disease prevention delivered in primary care settings. Efforts in this area can have significant positive impacts by reducing the need for primary healthcare and by reducing the stress on the healthcare system.
Changes in the industry only serve to stress what has always been true; namely, that the healthcare field has always faced significant challenges, and that goals to improve healthcare will always involve multiple stakeholders. This should not seem surprising given the circumstances. Indeed, when a growing population needs care, there are factors involved such as the demands of providing that care and the rising costs associated with healthcare. Generally, it is not surprising that the field of healthcare is an industry facing multifaceted issues that evolve over time.
In this module’s Discussion, you reviewed some healthcare issues/stressors and selected one for further review. For this Assignment, you will consider in more detail the healthcare issue/stressor you selected. You will also review research that addresses the issue/stressor and write a white paper to your organization’s leadership that addresses the issue/stressor you selected.
To Prepare:
Review the national healthcare issues/stressors presented in the Resources and reflect on the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected for study.
Reflect on the feedback you received from your colleagues on your Discussion post for the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected.
Identify and review two additional scholarly resources (not included in the Resources for this module) that focus on change strategies implemented by healthcare organizations to address your selected national healthcare issue/stressor.
The Assignment (3-4 Pages):
Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue
Develop a 3- to 4-page paper, written to your organization’s leadership team, addressing your selected national healthcare issue/stressor and how it is impacting your work setting. Be sure to address the following:
Describe the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected and its impact on your organization. Use organizational data to quantify the impact (if necessary, seek assistance from leadership or appropriate stakeholders in your organization).
Provide a brief summary of the two articles you reviewed from outside resources on the national healthcare issue/stressor. Explain how the healthcare issue/stressor is being addressed in other organizations.
Summarize the strategies used to address the organizational impact of national healthcare iss.

Country Profile
Overview
As a healthcare professional driven to advocacy, you must be aware of disparities of healthcare systems within and across borders. This course has prepared you
to critically analyze a variety of health issues in countries around the world and to assess the role healthcare professionals and institutions or organizations play
in both the delivery and improvement (or detriment) of a system. Ultimately, as an advocate for population health and promotion of service delivery, you will
craft an analysis of health issues that will lead you to make recommendations on how to effect positive change regarding healthcare access, equity, and
outcomes in a country.
Final Project One for this course is the creation of a country profile that provides a detailed assessment of the chosen population and its healthcare system. The
final product represents an authentic demonstration of competency because by exploring healthcare across borders to better understand disparities and the
impacts of economics, culture, and social factors on population health, you will gain a global view of healthcare necessary for impactful advocacy. The project is
divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These
milestones will be submitted in Modules Two and Four. The final product will be submitted in Module Six.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Assess the impact of economic, social, and cultural factors on communities and healthcare organizations in the United States and internationally
Determine the role and influence of key international organizations and stakeholders in promoting global health, service delivery, and healthcare policy
Analyze data from global and local health organizations for informing health initiative recommendations
Prompt
For this project, choose a country (other than the United States) and assess its population health and healthcare system. Your country profile should address the
impacts of economics, culture, and social factors on population health. You will choose three areas of health study to examine in detail for your country. These
areas must be approved by your instructor.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Introduction
A. State the purpose of the country profile and explain why you chose to write about this country in particular.
B. Identify appropriate details needed for an analysis of the state of healthcare in your chosen country. Your discussion should include but is not
limited to population, type of government and the state of governmental affairs, geographic location, and climate.

As we reach the final stretch of the capital trial of the Boston Marathon bomber, we present this case study on social media that was originally published in the author’s book
Disaster Communications in a Changing Media World
:
Case Study: BPD and Social Media
At 2:49 PM on April 15, 2013 two bombs exploded near the finish line of the annual Boston Marathon killing three people and injuring 264. The first reports about the about the terrorist attack were spread through Twitter and Facebook.
At 2:59 PM the
Boston Globe
tweeted:
“BREAKING NEWS: Two powerful explosions detonated in quick succession right next to the Boston Marathon finish line this afternoon.”
Minutes later, the Boston Police Department confirmed the explosion in a tweet. And in a separate tweet soon after reported:

”
According to Topsy, a Twitter analytics company, at around 4:10 p.m. there were more than 300,000 mentions on Twitter of “Boston explosions.” (Stern, 2013) In a second wave of social media, details about the event spread. Media that included photos of blood covering the ground and a six-second Vine video of the actual explosion was circulated, deepening people’s sense of what had happened. Around 4:30 p.m., there were more than 700,000 mentions on Twitter of the “Boston Marathon.” (Stern, 2013)
Even though television was the most widely-used source of information about the bombing and its aftermath, it was social media that shaped the story and the response. While 80% of Americans followed the story on TV according to the Pew Research Center, about half (49%) say they kept up with news and information online or on a mobile device and a quarter of Americans got information about the explosions and the hunt for the bombers on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
Young Americans in particular kept up-to-date through social media. Slightly more than half (56%) of an 18-to-29 year subgroup polled by Pew got bombing-related news through social networking sites. (Pew Research Center, 2013).
The Boston bombings and the manhunt that followed became the backdrop for the world to witness the transformation – for good and for bad — in news gathering and distribution, and in disaster management and crises communications caused by social media platforms and technology. The Boston Marathon bombings were a watershed, a moment that marked forever the changed role of social media and the fully participatory public in breaking news events and coverage. The

Restorative Sentencing: Exploring the Views
of the Public
Julian V. Roberts1,3 and Loretta J. Stalans2
Within the past decade, restorative justice has emerged as a truly global phe-
nomenon. Although retributive justice has dominated the penal landscape, more
recently, restorative principles at sentencing have attracted increased attention.
Restorative sentencing emphasizes the importance of compensation and recon-
ciliation between victims and offenders and pays less attention to establishing
proportionality between the seriousness of the offense and the severity of the sen-
tence imposed. Although voluminous (and proliferating), the scholarly literature
on restorative justice has to date neglected one critical issue: public opinion with
respect to this justice paradigm. Public opinion researchers too, have generally
overlooked this topic. The goal of this paper is to determine which elements
of the new paradigm generate public approval, and which features are likely
to encounter or provoke public opposition, drawing upon related international
research published in English over the past 20 years (1982–2002). The review
reveals widespread support for “restorative” sentencing options, such as commu-
nity service, compensation, and restitution, particularly when applied to young
offenders. However, it also seems clear that public support for these alternatives
to punitive sentencing options declines as the seriousness of the offence increases,
suggesting strong public adherence to the retributive principle of proportionality
in sentencing.
KEY WORDS: restorative justice; public opinion.
Within the past decade, restorative justice has emerged as a truly global
phenomenon. Restorative programs and policies have been created in most indus-
trialized and many developing nations. Restorative initiatives exist at all stages of

the criminal process, from policing to prisons and community-based corrections
(e.g., Braithwaite, 1999; Walgrave, 2002). Defining terms such as “restorative
justice” or “restorative sentencing” is not easy, as the initiatives encompassed by
these terms vary widely across jurisdictions. Nevertheless, some defining char-
acteristics are clear. In contrast to retributive justice, restorative justice stresses
reconciliation between the offender, the victim, and the community to which both
belong. At the stage of sentencing, restorative justice emphasizes the importance
of responding to the needs of victims and encourages the offender to accept re-
sponsibility and express remorse. Restorative sentencing pr.

Instructions for the Critical Essay
Utilizing seven to ten outside scholarly sources students are to write critical essays (5-7 pages not
including title and reference pages) documenting an essential issue with regard to the course’s influence
on a policy. Students may also include official and organizational research reports as part of their
allotted references too1. These essays are positional in nature (you’re arguing a stance using scholarly
evidence), and will be written in an academic and scholarly tone. Arguments must be cogent, logical,
and supported by facts (which will come from one’s research). APA citation and reference lists are
required. These essays will be well proof-read before submission. Font: Times New Roman, 12. The
essay should be double-spaced and numbered. Below are instructions regarding the format:
1. The assignment requires a traditional APA title page. Students may assign the essay its own
title, be creative. Again, the title page and references are not counted in the page requirement.
2. The structure of the paper should be sectioned like such:
a. Introduction
b. The Policy (here you will provide an explanation/background of your chosen policy)
c. Corresponding Issue #1
d. Corresponding Issue #2
e. Suggested Policy Change
f. Conclusion
g. References
3. The Introduction should provide a thorough roadmap of where you intend to take the reader;
thus, here you want to establish a clear but brief outline of your policy of choice and the issues
you plan to uncover—leave the rest for folks to see in the essay. This should be no more than a
good thick paragraph.
4. The proceeding pages should be well structured by sections/headings which will correspond to
remaining four points mentioned after the introduction. For example, for a policy one may
choose sentencing, and then his/her two issues may be mass incarceration and reentry (you’d
use those titles as the headings for your sections in the essay, or you can be more creative and
call them something else, but the sections need to be distinct from each other). The
information contained in each respective section will include a meshing together of your
scholarly sources and your understanding of your chosen policy. This part of the essay will
become more refined as one continue to engage in research. Remember, all points/arguments
explained in these pages must be cited and backed by evidence. Your writing should be both
informative and persuasive, which means you should be explaining to your reader the gist of the
1. These are the sources that will give one the statistics he/she would need to describe the scope of the
problem/issue which will be covered in the essay. It is important that the essay has some stats in it to substantiate
all arguments. For instance, for crime stats see .

SOCIAL JUSTICE AND SOCIOLOGY:
AGENDAS FOR THE
TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
JOE R, FEAGIN
University of Florida
The world's peoples face daunting challenges in the
twenty-first century. While apologists herald the globaliza-
tion of capitalism, many people on our planet experience
recurring economic exploitation, immiseration, and envi-
ronmental crises linked to capitalism's spread. Across the
globe social movements continue to raise the issues of
social justice and democracy. Given the new century's
serious challenges, sociologists need to rediscover their
roots in a sociology committed to social justice, to cultivate and extend the long-
standing "countersystem" approach to research, to encourage greater self-reflection
in sociological analysis, and to re-emphasize the importance ofthe teaching of soci-
ology. Finally, more sociologists should examine the big social questions of this
century, including the issues of economic exploitation, social oppression, and the
looming environmental crises. And, clearly, more sociologists should engage in the
study of alternative social futures, including those of more just and egalitarian soci-
eties. Sociologists need to think deeply and imaginatively about sustainable social
futures and to aid in building better human societies.

You are required to identify any current social issue and discuss its impact on children, families, schools, and communities. You should include a discussion of public policies related to this issue. If no public policies exist, suggest a couple that you think are needed. Also specify the potential influence of this topic on the child’s development and identity formation.
Keep in mind that social issues are dynamic: they arise, change, gain or lose priority as the tone of the times changes. The issues you choose need to be current. They can be local (specific to a community such as loss of a library or gang problems), or national (i.e. childhood obesity, lack of art, enrichment, physical education, etc. in public school curriculum, separation of church and state issues). You may choose any topic that interests you if it is current, and you are able to respond to each of the prompts listed below in the instructions.
What you will turn in:
A 5-6-page minimum (no maximum and this does not include the cover page nor the reference page) summary of the topic explaining:
What the topic is as well as the incidence of the topic,
why it is a noteworthy social issue,
how it impacts children, families, and communities.
Explain how children’s development may be affected by this issue; include all affected developmental domains.
Are there any current policies that address this issue? Explain and suggest others.
What are some possible solutions to address this issue? (your educated opinion of 2+ solutions and why)
Please format this in APA style and include a reference page with any sources you used to gather your information. You must cite at least four sources, plus your textbook (5 total). You must include page numbers for each citation. Your sources do not need to be empirical research studies, although they may be if you choose.

2) What examples of socialization did you notice? This may include the process of socialization in progress (i.e. a parent encouraging their child to use good table manners) or evidence of the effects of socialization (i.e. waiting politely in a long line).
3) Give at least three examples of each of the following that you observed during your interaction: ascribed status, achieved status, and roles.
4) Describe at least five examples of social exchange that you noticed and discuss the potential impact (helpful, disruptive, etc.) on the individuals involved.
5) What examples of “gendered” interaction did you notice regarding the ways in which women and men are socialized regarding demeanor, uses of space, starting, touching, smiling, and language. Explain whether or not this was consistent with what you learned in chapter 6 (pages 165-166 and 170).

Assignment: Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue
The Quadruple Aim provides broad categories of goals to pursue to maintain and improve healthcare. Within each goal are many issues that, if addressed successfully, may have a positive impact on outcomes. For example, healthcare leaders are being tasked to shift from an emphasis on disease management often provided in an acute care setting to health promotion and disease prevention delivered in primary care settings. Efforts in this area can have significant positive impacts by reducing the need for primary healthcare and by reducing the stress on the healthcare system.
Changes in the industry only serve to stress what has always been true; namely, that the healthcare field has always faced significant challenges, and that goals to improve healthcare will always involve multiple stakeholders. This should not seem surprising given the circumstances. Indeed, when a growing population needs care, there are factors involved such as the demands of providing that care and the rising costs associated with healthcare. Generally, it is not surprising that the field of healthcare is an industry facing multifaceted issues that evolve over time.
In this module’s Discussion, you reviewed some healthcare issues/stressors and selected one for further review. For this Assignment, you will consider in more detail the healthcare issue/stressor you selected. You will also review research that addresses the issue/stressor and write a white paper to your organization’s leadership that addresses the issue/stressor you selected.
To Prepare:
Review the national healthcare issues/stressors presented in the Resources and reflect on the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected for study.
Reflect on the feedback you received from your colleagues on your Discussion post for the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected.
Identify and review two additional scholarly resources (not included in the Resources for this module) that focus on change strategies implemented by healthcare organizations to address your selected national healthcare issue/stressor.
The Assignment (3-4 Pages):
Analysis of a Pertinent Healthcare Issue
Develop a 3- to 4-page paper, written to your organization’s leadership team, addressing your selected national healthcare issue/stressor and how it is impacting your work setting. Be sure to address the following:
Describe the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected and its impact on your organization. Use organizational data to quantify the impact (if necessary, seek assistance from leadership or appropriate stakeholders in your organization).
Provide a brief summary of the two articles you reviewed from outside resources on the national healthcare issue/stressor. Explain how the healthcare issue/stressor is being addressed in other organizations.
Summarize the strategies used to address the organizational impact of national healthcare iss.

Country Profile
Overview
As a healthcare professional driven to advocacy, you must be aware of disparities of healthcare systems within and across borders. This course has prepared you
to critically analyze a variety of health issues in countries around the world and to assess the role healthcare professionals and institutions or organizations play
in both the delivery and improvement (or detriment) of a system. Ultimately, as an advocate for population health and promotion of service delivery, you will
craft an analysis of health issues that will lead you to make recommendations on how to effect positive change regarding healthcare access, equity, and
outcomes in a country.
Final Project One for this course is the creation of a country profile that provides a detailed assessment of the chosen population and its healthcare system. The
final product represents an authentic demonstration of competency because by exploring healthcare across borders to better understand disparities and the
impacts of economics, culture, and social factors on population health, you will gain a global view of healthcare necessary for impactful advocacy. The project is
divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These
milestones will be submitted in Modules Two and Four. The final product will be submitted in Module Six.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Assess the impact of economic, social, and cultural factors on communities and healthcare organizations in the United States and internationally
Determine the role and influence of key international organizations and stakeholders in promoting global health, service delivery, and healthcare policy
Analyze data from global and local health organizations for informing health initiative recommendations
Prompt
For this project, choose a country (other than the United States) and assess its population health and healthcare system. Your country profile should address the
impacts of economics, culture, and social factors on population health. You will choose three areas of health study to examine in detail for your country. These
areas must be approved by your instructor.
2
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Introduction
A. State the purpose of the country profile and explain why you chose to write about this country in particular.
B. Identify appropriate details needed for an analysis of the state of healthcare in your chosen country. Your discussion should include but is not
limited to population, type of government and the state of governmental affairs, geographic location, and climate.

As we reach the final stretch of the capital trial of the Boston Marathon bomber, we present this case study on social media that was originally published in the author’s book
Disaster Communications in a Changing Media World
:
Case Study: BPD and Social Media
At 2:49 PM on April 15, 2013 two bombs exploded near the finish line of the annual Boston Marathon killing three people and injuring 264. The first reports about the about the terrorist attack were spread through Twitter and Facebook.
At 2:59 PM the
Boston Globe
tweeted:
“BREAKING NEWS: Two powerful explosions detonated in quick succession right next to the Boston Marathon finish line this afternoon.”
Minutes later, the Boston Police Department confirmed the explosion in a tweet. And in a separate tweet soon after reported:

”
According to Topsy, a Twitter analytics company, at around 4:10 p.m. there were more than 300,000 mentions on Twitter of “Boston explosions.” (Stern, 2013) In a second wave of social media, details about the event spread. Media that included photos of blood covering the ground and a six-second Vine video of the actual explosion was circulated, deepening people’s sense of what had happened. Around 4:30 p.m., there were more than 700,000 mentions on Twitter of the “Boston Marathon.” (Stern, 2013)
Even though television was the most widely-used source of information about the bombing and its aftermath, it was social media that shaped the story and the response. While 80% of Americans followed the story on TV according to the Pew Research Center, about half (49%) say they kept up with news and information online or on a mobile device and a quarter of Americans got information about the explosions and the hunt for the bombers on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
Young Americans in particular kept up-to-date through social media. Slightly more than half (56%) of an 18-to-29 year subgroup polled by Pew got bombing-related news through social networking sites. (Pew Research Center, 2013).
The Boston bombings and the manhunt that followed became the backdrop for the world to witness the transformation – for good and for bad — in news gathering and distribution, and in disaster management and crises communications caused by social media platforms and technology. The Boston Marathon bombings were a watershed, a moment that marked forever the changed role of social media and the fully participatory public in breaking news events and coverage. The

Restorative Sentencing: Exploring the Views
of the Public
Julian V. Roberts1,3 and Loretta J. Stalans2
Within the past decade, restorative justice has emerged as a truly global phe-
nomenon. Although retributive justice has dominated the penal landscape, more
recently, restorative principles at sentencing have attracted increased attention.
Restorative sentencing emphasizes the importance of compensation and recon-
ciliation between victims and offenders and pays less attention to establishing
proportionality between the seriousness of the offense and the severity of the sen-
tence imposed. Although voluminous (and proliferating), the scholarly literature
on restorative justice has to date neglected one critical issue: public opinion with
respect to this justice paradigm. Public opinion researchers too, have generally
overlooked this topic. The goal of this paper is to determine which elements
of the new paradigm generate public approval, and which features are likely
to encounter or provoke public opposition, drawing upon related international
research published in English over the past 20 years (1982–2002). The review
reveals widespread support for “restorative” sentencing options, such as commu-
nity service, compensation, and restitution, particularly when applied to young
offenders. However, it also seems clear that public support for these alternatives
to punitive sentencing options declines as the seriousness of the offence increases,
suggesting strong public adherence to the retributive principle of proportionality
in sentencing.
KEY WORDS: restorative justice; public opinion.
Within the past decade, restorative justice has emerged as a truly global
phenomenon. Restorative programs and policies have been created in most indus-
trialized and many developing nations. Restorative initiatives exist at all stages of

the criminal process, from policing to prisons and community-based corrections
(e.g., Braithwaite, 1999; Walgrave, 2002). Defining terms such as “restorative
justice” or “restorative sentencing” is not easy, as the initiatives encompassed by
these terms vary widely across jurisdictions. Nevertheless, some defining char-
acteristics are clear. In contrast to retributive justice, restorative justice stresses
reconciliation between the offender, the victim, and the community to which both
belong. At the stage of sentencing, restorative justice emphasizes the importance
of responding to the needs of victims and encourages the offender to accept re-
sponsibility and express remorse. Restorative sentencing pr.

Instructions for the Critical Essay
Utilizing seven to ten outside scholarly sources students are to write critical essays (5-7 pages not
including title and reference pages) documenting an essential issue with regard to the course’s influence
on a policy. Students may also include official and organizational research reports as part of their
allotted references too1. These essays are positional in nature (you’re arguing a stance using scholarly
evidence), and will be written in an academic and scholarly tone. Arguments must be cogent, logical,
and supported by facts (which will come from one’s research). APA citation and reference lists are
required. These essays will be well proof-read before submission. Font: Times New Roman, 12. The
essay should be double-spaced and numbered. Below are instructions regarding the format:
1. The assignment requires a traditional APA title page. Students may assign the essay its own
title, be creative. Again, the title page and references are not counted in the page requirement.
2. The structure of the paper should be sectioned like such:
a. Introduction
b. The Policy (here you will provide an explanation/background of your chosen policy)
c. Corresponding Issue #1
d. Corresponding Issue #2
e. Suggested Policy Change
f. Conclusion
g. References
3. The Introduction should provide a thorough roadmap of where you intend to take the reader;
thus, here you want to establish a clear but brief outline of your policy of choice and the issues
you plan to uncover—leave the rest for folks to see in the essay. This should be no more than a
good thick paragraph.
4. The proceeding pages should be well structured by sections/headings which will correspond to
remaining four points mentioned after the introduction. For example, for a policy one may
choose sentencing, and then his/her two issues may be mass incarceration and reentry (you’d
use those titles as the headings for your sections in the essay, or you can be more creative and
call them something else, but the sections need to be distinct from each other). The
information contained in each respective section will include a meshing together of your
scholarly sources and your understanding of your chosen policy. This part of the essay will
become more refined as one continue to engage in research. Remember, all points/arguments
explained in these pages must be cited and backed by evidence. Your writing should be both
informative and persuasive, which means you should be explaining to your reader the gist of the

problem/issue which will be covered in the essay. It is important that the essay has some stats in it to substantiate
all arguments. For instance, for crime stats see .

SOCIAL JUSTICE AND SOCIOLOGY:
AGENDAS FOR THE
TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
JOE R, FEAGIN
University of Florida
The world's peoples face daunting challenges in the
twenty-first century. While apologists herald the globaliza-
tion of capitalism, many people on our planet experience
recurring economic exploitation, immiseration, and envi-
ronmental crises linked to capitalism's spread. Across the
globe social movements continue to raise the issues of
social justice and democracy. Given the new century's
serious challenges, sociologists need to rediscover their
roots in a sociology committed to social justice, to cultivate and extend the long-
standing "countersystem" approach to research, to encourage greater self-reflection
in sociological analysis, and to re-emphasize the importance ofthe teaching of soci-
ology. Finally, more sociologists should examine the big social questions of this
century, including the issues of economic exploitation, social oppression, and the
looming environmental crises. And, clearly, more sociologists should engage in the
study of alternative social futures, including those of more just and egalitarian soci-
eties. Sociologists need to think deeply and imaginatively about sustainable social
futures and to aid in building better human societies.

SOCIAL ISSUES DISCUSSION
You are required to identify any current social issue and discuss its impact on children, families, schools, and communities. You should include a discussion of public policies related to this issue. If no public policies exist, suggest a couple that you think are needed. Also specify the potential influence of this topic on the child’s development and identity formation.
Keep in mind that social issues are dynamic: they arise, change, gain or lose priority as the tone of the times changes. The issues you choose need to be current. They can be local (specific to a community such as loss of a library or gang problems), or national (i.e. childhood obesity, lack of art, enrichment, physical education, etc. in public school curriculum, separation of church and state issues). You may choose any topic that interests you if it is current, and you are able to respond to each of the prompts listed below in the instructions.
What you will turn in:
A 5-6-page minimum (no maximum and this does not include the cover page nor the reference page) summary of the topic explaining:
What the topic is as well as the incidence of the topic,
why it is a noteworthy social issue,
how it impacts children, families, and communities.
Explain how children’s development may be affected by this issue; include all affected developmental domains.
Are there any current policies that address this issue? Explain and suggest others.
What are some possible solutions to address this issue? (your educated opinion of 2+ solutions and why)
Please format this in APA style and include a reference page with any sources you used to gather your information. You must cite at least four sources, plus your textbook (5 total). You must include page numbers for each citation. Your sources do not need to be empirical research studies, although they may be if you choose.
