Directions:
Write a report on local community organization about “HOMELESSNESS.”
I choose “SAN DIEGO RESCUE MISSION” as the local community organization.
website: https://www.sdrescue.org/
The local community organization is dedicated to some social, cultural or artistic purpose that addresses at least one of the social inequalities explained in the course materials.
The Community Report is intended to be an integrative essay; it should be discussed the various concepts covered in Sociology (Cultural Diversity) in an informed academic fashion. Connect a wide range of various Sociology sources across different themes and units (particularly the readings from Unit 4), with your own outside research.
Use of sources: Please use a wide range of research from Sociology and outside = there should be at least 2-3 different Sociology related sources per angle.
This means a cohesive mix of text, web source, and the outside sources you examine, such as the organization’s web site, its partner links, media articles, press releases, and other scholarly journal or book articles on your organization’s focus.
Critical Analysis: Do not merely copy+paste quotes from materials into your Report.
Instead, synthesize and interpret the information in your own words, using properly cited resources that you build upon with your analysis. Be sure to cite the source of all information that is not common knowledge.
Again, do not import materials directly from the organizations materials (copy+paste), but rather, apply Sociology course ideas and information, describe and analyze, and explain your findings in your original writing.
______________________________________________________
Through the organization’s own material, what others may have written about it, prepare a report which describes:
The report should discuss but not be limited to the following:
• Intro:
o the name of the organization,
o description of the organization: its sources of funding, its organizational structure, whether it is a profit or nonprofit group, its history
• Thesis (KEY!):
o the explanation of Sociology-related social issue(s) that the organization addresses: It must Have a Thesis Statement, and also support the thesis statement in all parts of the report.
• “Angles” (aka body paragraphs)
o the types of activities it supports and how these activities address the thesis of your report.,
o who the organization serves and whether the population that is recipient to the services are involved in leadership and decision making of the organization. Discuss this group using several of our course materials
o how the organization works to contest and/or ameliorate the consequences of inequality.
• Conclusion:
o stated purpose of the organization and your assessment of how well the organization meets the purpose
The most important part of the report is its analytic focus, i.e., discuss how the purpose, function, or other aspects of this organization reflect the major themes or ideas about cultural diversity and inequality that we are studying in this class.
Be specific. Do not simply report on the organization; analyze by applying our course materials.
