This course overviews the basic types of social problems that exist in American society. It will also provide some attention to global problems, such as over population, environmental problems, and war. We will pay attention to large scale social problems that impact many people called Macro social problems. We will also look at social problems that impact people on more of a small-scale level, called Micro social problems, Students will have an opportunity to select one social problem that is of particular interest to them so they can delve more deeply into its cause and effect. I hope you will enjoy this class. You will NOT need to buy a book for it - I will post all materials for you free of charge.
