Social Problem

    Submit a two- to three-page paper that analyzes the difference between the "culture of poverty" vs "restricted opportunity" in understanding poverty. Use peer-reviewed sources as well as examples from the Gorski & Pothini case study (3.2), "The Trouble with Grit," to illustrate how perceptions of the poor can affect policy, and ultimately, solutions for ending poverty. Discuss how your social work values would apply in influencing your perceptions of the poor. See the Directions and Grading Criteria and the Grading rubric points distribution. The Application Assignment is worth 150 points and will be graded on use of citations, use of Standard English grammar, sentence structure, and overall organization based on the required components as summarized in the directions and grading criteria/rubric. Create your exercise using Microsoft Word (a part of Microsoft Office), which is the required format for all Chamberlain University documents. You can tell that the document is saved as a MS Word document because it will end in ".docx" Follow the directions and grading criteria closely. Any questions about your assignment may be posted under the Q & A Forum.
