(Problem Analysis) 

Assignment Instructions 

This  analysis project requires you to tackle a problem within your field of  study by first exploring the problem, its causes, and its impacts. Then, if you want, you can  recommend one or more practical solutions to solve the problem. After  deciding on the problem you wish to tackle, begin building questions  about it. Your goal for the analysis is to answer the questions through  your sources. Finding multiple angles and perspectives is ideal so that  you explore those possibilities in the final  before settling on  your recommendation. Be sure to identify what is at stake.    

Here are questions to help guide your analysis:  

1. What is the problem being addressed (explain, describe, and "prove" that it exists)? 
2. Who is affected by this problem?   
3. Why does this problem exist? (Identify the root causes.)
4. Why does the problem persist? (Identify the major factors that contribute to the problem's ongoing presence.)   
5. What is at stake if the problem is not solved?

If you choose to address a solution (you don't have to), you may find these prompts helpful:    

1. Who can take action?
2. What should they do, exactly? 
3. Why would this help? 
4. What are the positive and negative aspects of your solution(s)?
