Introduction
In this module, we have learned much about the causes of poverty in the United States, viewing the issue from a sociological perspective. What solutions to poverty have been proposed by experts?
Instructions
Using the internet (or some other source), identify three different structural proposals to reduce poverty that have been suggested by someone. (Recall that a structural proposal is one that works by changing social structures–how a society is organized, including its rules/policies/laws–instead of changing individuals.) Write a 2-3 page essay (500-750 words) as follows:
– If appropriate, describe the steps involved in implementing it, and/or which organizations would need to be involved (government? businesses? schools?).
– Briefly evaluate each proposal: Is it feasible; why or why not? How might it impact (positively or negatively) individuals, families, and other parts of society?
– Which one, if any, would you support; why?
Some possible proposals (though you can find and use others):
raising the minimum wage
making college free
creating more jobs
providing free childcare for working parents
increasing low-cost, affordable housing
