Assignment Application: Analyzing Social Problems and Social Policy
You 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 problem-Mental Health is the social problem
◦A description of the problem’s prevalence in society
◦A 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

impacts the way people act, feel, and think as they cope with their lives. Mental illness entails
any condition or diseases that affect the way one feels, thinks, behaves, or associate with others
as well as with his/her environment. It’s a serious medical condition that affects the
psychological component of a person.
Causes of mental illness
Even though the precise cause of mental illness is still unknown, research shows that
mental illness is caused by a combination of biological, genetic, environmental, and
psychological factors. The following are some of the causes of mental illness;
•
Genetics (heredity)-most mental illness run in families thus signifying they are
hereditary. In other words, this illness may be passed on from parents to their offspring.
However, it doesn’t mean that if one or both parents have a mental illness that it’s
guaranteed that the children will have it. Researchers believe that many mental illness
cases are associated with abnormalities in the genes (Ito, Matsushima, 2017).
•
Biology-another cause of mental illness is associated with biology. This means that some
cases of mental illness are associated with the abnormal balance of chemicals in the brain
known as neurotransmitt...
