In this milestone
, you will submit
Mapping the Issue (Section II of your final project). This milestone is a PowerPoint presentation that will help you visualize the social issue and how it relates to the following sociological concepts: cultural beliefs and biases, social roles, social inequalities, and existing social conditions. PowerPoint will help you to organize the concepts and identify the conceptual relationships. Your PowerPoint presentation should be based on the elements that you provided in your Milestone One submission. This PowerPoint is a critical piece of your final project, which is due in Module Seven. You will include at least four scholarly references (APA format) in the final slide of your PowerPoint presentation to support your ideas with scholarly sources.
Using the social issue you selected in Milestone One in Module Two, you will further examine the issue using the sociological concepts of cultural beliefs and biases, social roles, social inequalities, and the existing social conditions. These concepts will serve as categories through which you examine the issue, as you will identify how each is related to the larger issue. Use the provided PowerPoint template (linked in Module Four of your online course) to complete this assignment.
In the PowerPoint presentation, you must address each of the following four categories:
A. Identify the
cultural beliefs and biases present in the social issue. For example, there may be prejudice or discrimination at play.
B. Identify the
social roles played by the main individuals or groups in the
social issue. For example, an individual may be a mother and/or teacher.
C. Identify the
social inequalities present in this social issue. For example, there may be racism or sexism at play.
D. Identify the
existing state or
conditions that the social issue is challenging. For example, if your issue is that recycling does not lead to better environmental conditions, the existing condition may be perceived worsening environmental conditions which recycling aim to solve.
What to Submit
This milestone should be submitted using the PowerPoint template. Your submission should include APA references for at least four scholarly sources.
