As a group we choose to work for our group project on poverty as a social issue analysis.

The purpose is to develop your understanding of a social issue and to think of it as a social problem that requires social analysis.

The final project can be completed in any format but it must contain these four elements:

1. It must describe the dynamics and scope of the social problem. This requires doing research. (there is attached document for this answer just for reference) (no need to work on this question)

2. It must use the triangle model of social analysis by thinking through the role of ideology and institutions and their impact on individuals and communities. (I need an answer only for question #2). The other questions will be discussed by other students.

Note: Please refere the pdf attached: page 154, 159

3. Include a section with recommendations for social change based on your research. Include an explanation on why you chose those solutions. (no need to work on this question)

4. Whatever format you choose to present your work should be polished–it must be well organized, proofread and properly formatted using APA citations. (no need to work on this question)
