Community Analysis Assignment

Community Analysis Assignment

Students will demonstrate developing analytical skills regarding community engagement and creating interventions to address unmet community needs.
Students will write a focused 5 to 6-page, double-spaced paper discussing a population of interest and social issue (e.g. long-term care for frail elders; child care and single working parents; domestic violence and immigrant women) within an arena (a community in which the student lives, has field, works, or volunteers).
The paper will:
● identify the social problem using supporting literature from scholarly sources;
● analyze how dynamics of power, privilege and oppression influence and maintain this social problem;
● develop a strategy to address this problem within the specific context of the chosen community or population
● explain why this problem needs to be addressed using the social work values of social, economic, and/or environmental justice
