Social Issue Analysis

Chapter seven of Social Problems by Joel Best was about how policies are made and the process of getting a policy noticed. The chapter explains what policy domains are (201). Best also explains Kingdon’s policy stream model (204-207). Best goes on to explain the pressures put on policymakers (211). Best ends the chapter talking about the rhetoric of policymaking (216).

The Polar bear lives in the artic and uses the area’s costal waters and ice sheets. They are well equipped to live in this environment because they have a thick coat which serves as an insulator. They mainly prey on seals but have also been known to consume dead whales. They can grow to be 7.25 to 8 feet tall and can weigh around 900 to 1,600 pounds. Polar bears are a keystone species, if their numbers decrease there is a possibility that the seal populations will increase which could be devastating for crustaceans and fish. They help keep populations in balance.

Social entrepreneurship which has been applied in so many different ways by so many different analysts that it’s depth of vast complexity is still being unraveled and it seems it is still in infancy. It is a multi-interpretable concept and although the use of the term is widespread its use is either overrated or misused. Hence, it is important to firstly understand what social entrepreneurship really is.

When you were a kid, you probably carried around some sort of toy that you liked. For girls it might have been barbie dolls or the life-sized baby dolls. If you were a boy it was probably little toy cars (and we all carried around a blanket at one point in our life). But for me it was always stuffed animals that hung around in my hands. I was hardly interested in the dolls and doll houses that other girls had. My mother tells me that wherever I went (and there are pictures to prove it) I always carried a stuffed animal around. Whether it be a pig, cat, or monkey, I was always holding a stuffed toy. When I was told that there was a job for caring for the animals that I cherished, I was overcome with joy, I wouldn’t stop answering the question,

Speciesism is prevalent in western society and in Peter Singer's article "All Animals Are Equal", the topic is divulged and our ways are called out. We are speciest when it comes to the way we eat, the way we research and the overall way we treat species other than our own. Whether these ways are intentional or not we are still treating other species unjustly and Singer provides reasons why we should stop. He also provides reasons why we need to give animals other than humans some moral consideration. Western society is speciest because of the way we treat other species.

The polar bear, the largest land carnivore in North America, one of the largest animals in the world and a favorite at zoos worldwide, has, over the years, adapted to its harsh Arctic environment. The appropriately named ‘ursus maritimum’ or sea bear usually lives between 15 and 18 years in the wild and spends most of its life on ice. It is the most recent of the eight bear species. The first polar bear was a brown bear subspecies, with brown bear dimensions and brown bear teeth. The polar bear evolution was rapid due to the small population and extreme pressure to survive. Even today, the polar bear continues to evolve to better adapt to the harsh realities of Arctic life.

Recently, Kerstin Langenberger, a photographer at Arctic Dreams, shared one of her portraits of a severely thin bear on social media. The image, taken in the region of Svalbard in the Arctic Ocean,

The polar bear lives up in the Arctic region where global warming and climate change are melting the ice caps that the bears thrive on. They use the ice as a platform from hunting and rest. The random pocket holes in the ice, where the seals pop up at, is where the polar bear catches its prey. With this reduction of ice, “the abundance of seals, and increases the amount of energy and time needed for hunting, leaving less energy for reproduction” (Endangered Species and Habitats).

First part. The author wants to promote critical reflection that may contribute to the development of social activism. Also, he introduces links between social activism and religion. Moreover the methodology that is used in this chapter is "ethnographic". Rather than examine theoretical aspects of the religious motivation for social engagement, we look at the lives of individuals foe whom religion was a powerful driving force. He stands giving us different definitions of religion.

rather than the conditions themselves. [5] This examination will often take the form of case

My Social Issue Silhouette was about social media. I decided to show how in modern day society people always have their phones with them wherever they go. I also wanted to show how a lot of people are addicted to social media and keeping up with the so-called trends. My design was a hand chained to a computer cursor. The hardest part was trying to keep the main outline and shape of things without detail. The title of my painting is “Modern Social Media” because it shows how many people today are addicted to their phones. The main elements I used were shape and line. The tools I used were black and white paper, scissors, an X-Acto knife, and glue. I tried to cut everything out nice but the X-Acto knife but it didn't really work. Also, the

In the scientific article Feeding and reproductive ecology of two polar bear populations the researchers focused on the study of two polar bear populations that being the Chukchi Sea and the Beaufort Sea. Primarily researchers investigated the effects of ice loss in these areas with a focus finding out whether size, condition, and reproductive indices are being affected by climate changes leading to sea ice loss. This study is an important area of research because of the vast decline in sea ice, leading to Polar bear deaths. Polar bears depend on sea ice because it’s a way for them to hunt for prey, that being seals. In order to examine polar bear conditions, polar bears were located from a helicopter and immobilized with a dart containing

A social problem is a condition that at least some people in a community views as being undesirable. Everyone would agree about some social problems, such as murders and DWI traffic deaths. Other social problems may be viewed as such by certain groups of people. Teenagers who play loud music is a public park obviously do not view as a problem, but some other people may consider it an undesirable social condition. Some nonsmoker views smoking as an undesirable social condition that should be banned in public buildings.

Polar bears live in the Arctic Circle with temperatures that can be minus fifty degrees Celsius. Polar bears are considered marine mammals because they spend the majority of the life at sea, swimming for miles, but they are the only marine mammal that has limbs and also roams on ice and land. Male polar bears generally are twice the size of females, or sow’s. An ancestor of the grizzly bear, polar bears live in the Arctic Circle and spend majority of their time in the ocean hunting for seals. Seals being the meal of choice for polar bears they have adapted to the harsh climate and learned how to hunt seals (Willmer, 2004). The population size of polar bears is uncertain but Canada is responsible for two

Entrepreneurship is the process of designing, launching and running a new business while social entrepreneurs launch the business and implement solutions to social, cultural, or environmental issues simultaneously. Bill Drayton once said, “There is nothing more powerful than a new idea in the hands of a social entrepreneur.” In the world, there are billions of people have no access to education, healthcare, clean drinking water, food and even the basic human rights and respect. Violence, poverty and more global issues are at the alarm rate nowadays. These matters have to be tackled immediately before it is too late to do so. In our opinion, social entrepreneurship is the best way to help the needy and overcome the problem.
