II. Mapping the Issue: Now that you have selected your social issue, you will break the issue into smaller pieces. You will break the issue down into the following sociological concepts: cultural beliefs and biases, social roles, social inequalities, and the existing social conditions. These concepts will serve as categories through which you examine the issue, as you will identify how each is present in the issue.

Identify in the map the cultural beliefs and biases present in the social issue. For example, there may be prejudice or discrimination at play. B. Identify in the map the social roles played by the main individuals or groups in the social issue. For example, an individual may be a mother and/or teacher. C. Identify in the map the social inequalities present in this social issue. For example, there may be racism or sexism at play. D.
