Terrorism
The Forum is mandatory but that having your response included in the research study described in our Syllabus is an area of choice. Responses to the first question are part of the research study unless you've opted out; responses to the second question are not part of the research study.
Choose one of these two options for your initial post:
Choose a social problem we learned about in class. Reflect on a specific experience you had with this social problem in American society or overseas. How will your new knowledge of the sociological perspective change, has your understanding of this social problem changed? How so? Give a specific example."
