Become an investigative muckraker. You are dedicated to improving conditions in the United States by exposing an issue of your choice. First, you have to consider problems you believe exist socially, politically, or economically in our society. Then, come up with a way to address and potentially fix these problems.
What movements have taken place over the last 20 years that you could reference in trying to bring awareness or change to a particular issue?
What caused the issue you’re focusing on in the first place? (think: Gilded Age)
How will your actions lead to progress in society? Are the changes beneficial for all?
