Resources & Instructions
Griswold, "Identities, Problems, and Movements.
The easy problems in society are typically solved quickly and often behind the scenes. We, the public, are
often not aware of the actions or consequences of the decisions that have been made unless those decisions
affect us directly. The tough social problems, though, are the ones that grace the editorial pages, political
debates, radio airwaves, and blogs. These problems are the tough ones because they are complex and often
emotionally charged. Implementing solutions to one problem may well create new problems.
Using Griswold's definition of a social problem, identify two social problems that exhibit issues of collective
identity in a community or society with which you are familiar. What solutions can you identify that exemplify
the positive application of multiculturalism and collective identity to solve these problems?
