Modern Social Problems

The journey begins....

In this course, we'll be looking at the social problems we face in the 21st century. We'll also consider how social problems in other parts of the world land on our doorstep,

and look at how other cultures and other times have tried to edge closer to a utopian society.

We'll question the cost versus the benefits of solving various social problems and look at how many problems are linked inextricably to each other and to society's values.

Sounds scary, huh?

On this website, you'll find the course syllabus, and some additional readings beyond the textbook to enhance your understanding

of the problems, some questions to think about, and links to sites that provide data for your research or class discussions.

I hope you'll find it helpful. I'm always interested in adding new links, so email me with urls that you think other students will find useful.
