Wk 5 – Signature Assignment: Impact of a Social Issue

Assignment Content

You don’t have to think too hard or look too long to realize that no matter the culture, there is an abundance of social issues present. It is important to understand the social issues people face and realize there may be cultural differences. Sometimes it’s not apparent what is impacting individuals because their background may be unknown at the time of your encounter. It’s likely the social issue has affected their psychology. It is wise to take time to understand the whole person, including the social issues that have influenced them.

Research a social issue that has an impact on diverse populations.

The essay I completed is attached. The instructor said it was great information but it is not the info that I was supposed to be talking about. She said the course is on diversity and I didn’t talk about Latino, Caucasians, African Americans or youth, elderly etc. I could have talked about how they were impacted by climate change and I did not.
