Critical Thinking Assignment: social problem (TWO versions each one 400-500 words) Total 800 -1000 words

I NEED TWO different versions ONE for me and ONE for my Friend. IT must be 100% different we are in the same class and same teacher.

For this module, students are to select a social problem and describe why they believe that this topic is, in fact, a social problem. In order to successfully complete this exercise, students should write a brief (400-500 words words) essay describing the topic and provide an argument that it is a social problem. Students should clearly identify the issue, the conclusion, and the premises of this argument at the end of their paper in list form. It is important to emphasize, however, that students must touch on a social problem. This cannot be a blog post about personal problems, psychological problems, medical problems, etc. – you have to discuss a topic which affects society more broadly.

Example

For example, suppose I wanted to write my assignment about incarceration for drug offenses. I might start by briefly describing how many people are incarcerated for these crimes each year in the United States and how this compares to other western nations. Then, I would present an argument that sending more and more people to prison for drug offenses is a social problem because incarceration is expensive, hurts families and communities, and doesn’t reduce crime (I would obviously elaborate on all of these things). Then, I’d conclude my paper with the following:

Issue: Whether incarcerating people for minor drug offenses is a social problem.

Premise: Incarceration hurts families and communities by removing role-models and economic resources.

Premise: These communities end up with more crime as a result of these issues.

Premise: The United States spends a lot of money on incarceration.

Premise: The United States has a substantial amount of debt.

Premise: The United States cannot afford to spend substantial sums of money on programs that do not work.

Premise: Anything which results in more crime and wastes taxpayer money is a social problem.

Conclusion: Sending people to prison for minor drug offenses is a social problem.

Remember that premises (including the conclusion) must be full sentences in the form of statements-not questions, imperatives, or fragments!

Rubric: Each assignment is worth 15 points. For this assignment, students are graded based on the following:

Writing = 0-4 points

List of Issue, Premises, and Conclusion = 0-5

Content (Is this a social problem, does the argument make sense, etc.) = 0-6
