Homework
Description
Based on your analysis of the social justice problem in the homework, select a currently enacted federal policy that is currently a law to analyze using the United States Congress website, Congress.gov. It must also address the problem that affects your chosen diverse cultural group (for example, based on race, religion, disabilities, gender orientation, socioeconomic status, or access to services). This will be the policy you analyze for the entire course project. Be sure to incorporate constructs that have been covered in this course into your analysis.

Then, complete the following:
