Cite one academic journal. Fix the draft I have already done. Add 200 words.
Following are some of the requirements of the assignments (but we only need to fix my draft)
Learning outcomes:
– Understand the link between social stratification and poverty, and how it relates to social inequality.
– Consider how social stratification determines or limits life choices and opportunities.
– Interpret situations in which poverty is more likely to occur in the U.S.A.
– Locate and utilize available sociological data.
– Compare and contrast basic research methods for gathering data.
Prompt:
An organization involved in addressing the negative effects of social inequality is considering working in Ohio. The organization has hired you to suggest:
- a) a target group (also referred to as a social category) that would benefit most from their activities,
as well as
- b) a geographic location (you must choose a county in Ohio) that needs the presence of an organization working on social inequality issues.
Resources:
You should recommend both a specific social category and a geographic location. The organization has asked you to explain your choice by relying on the U.S. Census Bureau demographic data, particularly The Ohio Poverty Report 2018 (URL: https://www.development.ohio.gov/files/research/p7005.pdf (Links to an external site.) )
Optional (extra credit): You can strengthen your argument by an additional reference to a recent academic study published in a sociological peer-reviewed journal (see list of relevant journals below).
Word count: 450 – 550 words (650-750 with extra credit) words, be brief, and you use short tables whenever appropriate.
References: Make sure you inform the organization about your data sources (use APA, Chicago, or MLA styles). Below is a general structure for citing census data from American FactFinder.
