This assignment can be completed at any point between now and the end of our final week of regular coursework.Unfortunately, social problems are so complex and the field of sociology is so (relatively) new, sociologists may raise far more questions than they seem to answer. Consequently, a course on social problems can be overwhelming and painful for students. Since I do not want to lose you to apathy as we progress through this course, I have specifically created this assignment so that your peers and I might benefit from knowing more about your own passions as they relate to social problems.

CHOOSE TO WRITE A one page RESPONSE TO EITHER A OR B (just one)
A. Gender, Race/Ethnicity, Class and Family
This problem focuses on the intersection of race/ethnicity, gender, class, and nationality in the way the United States views multiple births. Explain the relevance of the following quote: “…on a certain November Day an obscure woman in Iowa gives birth to seven babies; we marvel and rejoice. On the same day an obscure woman in Nigeria gives birth to her seventh child in a row; we are distressed and appalled” (Zwingle 1998, 38). Why might reactions to these two events be so different? In order to answer this question, compare newspaper reports of multiple births by reviewing the way in which the characteristics of the parents are closely scrutinized by the public, the medical establishment, and the media, in general, in its reporting of such events.
B. The family — What accounts for its (in)stability?
This problem focuses on the family and the debate surrounding its stability. Some scholars and politicians argue that “stable families are the bedrock of stable communities.” Others argue that “stable communities and economies are the bedrock of stable families.” Which of these two positions would you take and why? Remember to support your position by using the appropriate readings and theoretical approaches, regardless of which position you support.
