Write a cohesive essay 7-8 pages using these questions as a guide:
- What is an urgent problem in a social system you have navigated or witnessed others
navigating? Use your story, or the stories of others, as an entry-point into this problem. Use
this story to help your readers feel the urgency of the problem. - What is the deeper story behind this problem? Use your course tools to show your readers the
historical roots of the problem, the impact on society, and the communities most impacted by
the problem. - What ideological obstacles prevent us, as a society, from solving this problem?
- What ethical principles can help us overcome these obstacles?
- How will specifically people or groups act to overcome the obstacles if they are guided by these
ethical principles? What individual and collective actions might they take? What solutions
might they implement? - Why should your readers be concerned with the problem? Why should they support efforts to
solve the problem? How might they get involved?
