The purpose of this assignment is to draft the sociological impact analysis section of your news article.
More specifically, you will focus on the human activity you researched for the article summary you wrote last week in terms of its inequitable impacts. In particular, you must consider how the activity you have chosen impacts some groups of people more positively or more negatively than others. Here are a few examples.
Income: High-income, middle-income, and low-income
Ability: People with disabilities, the able-bodied
Health: People with pre-existing medical conditions, those in good health
Age: Seniors, the middle-aged, and younger people
Location: Rural, suburban, and urban dwellers
Citizenship: Citizens, legal residents, undocumented migrants
This is not meant to be a comprehensive list–there are many other possible groupings. If you have an idea that is not on this list, you may wish to consult with your instructor to make sure it is appropriate.
Note that the same activity could be beneficial, harmful, or neutral depending on the group. Moreover, everyone belongs to all of these groups in one category or another. For instance, someone could be low-income, disabled, in good health, middle-aged, rural, and a citizen. Based on each of these characteristics, the human activity in question may impact this person in a variety of ways.
