LA 209 Social Issues
This course is designed to investigate contemporary social issues, policies and problems (i.e., AIDS, abortion, crime, discrimination, domestic violence, drugs, homelessness, poverty, privacy, social deviance, the welfare system and others) and their impact on American social structures. How society attempts to find solutions to alleviate these social problems will also be examined. Students will be asked to assess issues in terms of their origins, extent, impact, implications, and various possible avenues of resolution.
