Consider a social problem that you would like to research.

State which social problem you have selected to research.

Next, secure an example of the problem as presented in each of the above sources (an academic journal as a news story or magazine).

For example, you could find an article from the journal Social Problems, then compare this account with any magazine or newspaper article. You are welcome to visit the Hatch Library for your article: http://library.baypath.edu/ (Links to an external site.)

Provide the following as an outline with your response to the topic above:

Summary of research findings of each source.

Methods used in each source.

What differences did you discover between the two types of accounts?

Examine how biased or unbiased each source was in reporting the information.
