Identify two social problems that exhibit issues of collective identity in a community or society
Unit 7 Discussion 2:Solving Social Problems
The easy problems in society are typically solved quickly and often behind the
scenes. We, the public, are often not aware of the actions or consequences of the
decisions that have been made unless those decisions affect us directly. The
tough social problems, though, are the ones that grace the editorial pages,
political debates, radio airwaves, and blogs. These problems are the tough ones
because they are complex and often emotionally charged. Implementing
solutions to one problem may well create new problems.
Using Griswold’s definition of a social problem, identify two social problems that
exhibit issues of collective identity in a community or society with which you are
familiar. What solutions can you identify that exemplify the positive application
of multiculturalism and collective identity to solve these problems?
