In this discussion, respond to the following prompts:

  • Provide an example of an issue facing your community or a community you care about. Through the lens of Applied Sociology, explain how you feel about that community issue, how the impacted community feels about the issue, and how the broader society feels about it. Then, explain how the issue in your community is experienced more widely by individuals who share your social location and even beyond.
  • Share a solution to the challenge and explore how your solution might differ depending on whether the issue is viewed as (a) an individual problem or (b) a societal issue. Consider what many people perceive as personal issues (poverty, drug addiction, domestic violence, or human rights issues like abortion and ensuring safety for the trans community) and reflect on these broader, societal, often public health issues.
  • Explain how being in public service through activism can guide social changes for your chosen community challenge and give an example of how you might fulfill this work by engaging your community.

Overall, engage critically and avoid an editorial stance. Demonstrate your understanding of the week’s material and include your sources from the course material or elsewhere if you do any outside research. Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length.
