Topic -Substance Abuse (Opioid and Heroin Crisis, Medical-Industrial Complex,
Youth Binge Drinking)
Social Disciplines-(Economics & Psychology)
Your final paper should include the following:
A brief discussion of your social issue, and how it rises to the level of
social concern.
A brief discussion of each of the social science disciplines you have
selected to gain insight on this social issue. Discuss the main goals of
these disciplines as discussed in Part II of your textbook.
Using the sources selected in week 3, analyze how your selected social
science disciplines have examined your selected social issue.
In your examination, identify if the authors used qualitative or
quantitative methodologies and why they selected these methods.
Discuss one similarity and at least two key differences in the
approaches or conclusions of these studies and relate these to the
disciplines involved.
Explain, based upon your research, how using research from two social
science disciplines can lead to a more complete understanding of social
issues than only using research from a single discipline. In other words,
how do the approaches and conclusions of your sources contribute to an
interdisciplinary understanding of the topic? How is this a more complete
understanding than a set of conclusions from sources only in one
discipline?
Finally, explain how this interdisciplinary understanding might be applied
within a social context in order to attempt to address this social issue.
