The Evolution of a Social Problem: Claims, Obstacles, and Possible Solutions

The topic for this assignment is on Employment as a Social Issue on Immigrants

Draft a four- to five-page (double-spaced) Word document that summarizes the information you gathered from your literature search. 

Begin your paper by discussing the emergence of the problem. Provide a concise description of how the social problem developed and how it was identified as a problem. 

The paper should describe what you learned from the multi-staged paper project. Be honest and thoughtful about the various components as you worked your way through them. 

Writing a summary paper about what you learned from class helps your writing and your summarizing skills, two of the most important skills you will acquire in college. This assignment differs from a typical summary,because in addition to presenting the main points of the class in your own words, you will need to reflect on what lessons you learned and why you found them particularly useful.

Finally, explore one organization’s efforts to deal with the social problem. Address the following questions for the “claims-making” organization’s efforts: 

What is the name of the organization? What is its mission? What does it identify as the causes and solutions to the social problem?

What populations does it serve?

What problems does the organization face? For example, what laws, opposing groups, cultural customs, or other factors block their efforts?

How does the organization counter or address these obstacles?

The paper must include a separate references page, listing all ten sources used in American Psychological Association (APA) formatting.
