profilemctt3p1

Compose 2-3 paragraphs that provide the following information:


· The social issue you are planning to examine

· Why you are interested in this issue and what you hope to learn through your research

· Three social science disciplines that address your chosen topic

· Your population of interest (be specific)

· Your research question (must be phrased as a question that is both appropriate and testable)


In choosing your social science disciplines, you may select any three of the following:  Anthropology, Criminology, Economics, Geography, Gerontology, Legal Studies, Political Science, Psychology, Social Science, Sociology, or Women’s Studies.  Each of these disciplines has a unique perspective that influences how questions are considered, explored, and researched. As a result, you may find that you will be visiting a wide range of academic journals as you conduct your research.


You do not need to identify a specific law or policy , but you will eventually need to identify and link your social issue to policy.


Here are some examples of social issues :

· The implications of the Affordable Health Care Act for early intervention of children with autism.

· The implications of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) on newborn health outcomes.

· Barriers to quality end of life care (e.g., hospice, palliative care) for terminally ill patients.

· Health disparities across different racial groups

· Stigma and discrimination against people with serious mental illness

· Psychosocial and cognitive outcomes for children placed into Foster Care

· An examination of how religious beliefs impact medical decisions

· Implications of unvaccinated children

· Gang culture among disenfranchised youth
