Guidelines:

1. Describe the social problem, phenomenon or movement and explain the reasons behind your selection (i.e. Why that issue interested you or is important to you?). Cite sources and provide web-links as needed. (Length: At least 250 words; Max Points: 10)

2. Discuss the social problem, phenomenon or movement separately from the structural-functional, social conflict and symbolic interaction perspectives.
