Niagara College

Description:

In your opinion, what are the major social problems facing Canadians today? Would your list of problems be the same as a friend's list or your parents'? Research indicates that these lists would vary considerably. Just how we define, study and seek to solve "problematic" aspects of our social world provides the focus for this course. You will have the opportunity to examine issues such as addictions, family problems, work and employment, mental health, bullying, suicide, violence against women, pornography, human trafficking and abuse of vulnerable populations. You will also have the opportunity to apply and evaluate community-based solutions for the treatment and prevention of social problems.
