Social Change Class Final Paper Identify an issue related to your internship which affects the health of a society; local, national or international. Come up with guiding questions (ie: what is the nature of the current global food crisis, what are the causes, what are the factors contributing to this issue, who is involved, what are the proposed solutions?) Be sure to include a section on what you have learned from your internship related to this issue. Identify the problem/issue. Respond to your guiding questions. Include an analysis of the systems that have been a part of this issue; economic, government, cultural, aid, NGOs.How are these systems intertwined? Is anything being done to build social capital and address cultural relevancy? Think about the concepts of ownership, (what does one need to build commitment to the changes?),capacity, (can one use it; does one have training?), and sustainability (can it exist without the current supports?) Research your topic for basic history, trends, statistics etc. How did we get to where we are now?The research should be the framework on which you place your more personal examinations and experiences. You should use at least three sources. 4-5 pages End page bibliography. You do not need to footnote in the paper. This is not a persuasive essay, so you do not need to convince the reader or state a particular opinion. Guiding questions and list of research sources due Wed Feb. 11, final paper due by Fri Feb. 20.
