For this assignment, you will go to the CSU Online Library and use the Academic Search Complete database to research a topic related to human rights. In addition, once you pick your topic, you may want to do online research to find additional information; however, this is not required.
Here are some examples that that you can use:
- prisoner rights,
- death penalty,
- poverty,
- women's rights, or
- LGBT rights
Research your topic and discover the issues. Describe these in a few paragraphs, starting each new response with the question it addresses:
- Where is your topic most relevant in 2014?
- Who is most affected by the topic?
- Apply the sociological perspectives on stratification to explain how social class and stratification affect your topic.
- What are some projects in place that will address the problem (suggest one if none exist yet)?
- Why did you choose your topic?
- How has learning about the topic affected your ideas going into this assignment? Have any of your views changed since learning more about the topic?
