Assignment: Analyzing Social Problems and Social PolicyYou might think that social problems only affect those who suffer from the problem directly, but they actually have much broader impact. For example, the public education system shapes the educational experiences of those who are not a part of the private school system. The government provides policies and procedures necessary to develop the public education system and make recommendations on ways to engage youth. If the system does not adhere to these policies or engage the youth effectively, we may be faced with a population of adults that have not received an adequate education. Social problems, if unchecked, may affect a large number of people in the society. As a social worker, you should be keen in discerning social problems and addressing them.For this Assignment, you will identify a problem that affects populations that social workers serve. Some examples of social problems include poverty, child welfare/abuse, and homelessness.Assignment (2-4 double-spaced pages in APA format): In addition to a minimum of six scholarly references, which may include electronic government documents and reputable websites, your paper should include:A description of the social problem you selected and any known causes or explanations for the problemA description of the problem’s prevalence in societyA description of the specific population impacted by this social problem, if any. If the social problem you selected does affect a specific population, include an explanation of why that might be the case.An explanation of the theories that support the problem and approaches scholars and policy analysts use to address the problem

Child Injury Case, EssayScenario:You return on holiday from college and stop by your aunt and uncle's house to take your four-year-old cousin out for ice cream. You are surprised to find her with a cast on her foot and bruises on both her legs and arms in different healing phases. You know that she was a sickly child who was prone to illnesses and could be very demanding, but you are concerned that someone may be abusing her.When you ask her what happened, she simply shrugs her shoulders and demands that you pick her up and carry her around. You ask your aunt and uncle what happened to her, and they indicate that she is a clumsy child and keeps falling down.You ask your mother if anyone in the family has ever been tested for osteogenesis imperfecta and Von Willebrand's disease, which would be a medical explanation for these injuries, or if your uncle uses alternative medicinal practices, such as cupping.Paper Requirements:In your essay, determine whether your aunt and uncle's explanation or your own suspicions are valid. How would you investigate to assess these claims? If the former is founded (you must specify how you verified your aunt and uncle's claims), then you should suggest a few ways to help your relatives with your cousin in order to reduce her injuries.If child abuse is substantiated (and you must specify how you made this analysis), then you must figure out what you should do to get your cousin assistance.Your paper should be 2-3 pages in length Or you may develop a 5 to 6 slide PowerPoint presentation with voice narration. Graphical images are encouraged to enhance your presentation! Include at least three scholarly references in addition to the course textbook. The CSU Global Library is a good place to find these references.
