Identify a current social issue (the COVID-19 pandemic, systemic racism, sexism, poverty, etc.), summarize and apply research related to its impacts on families, and provide recommendations for families, professionals who work with families, researchers, or policymakers. If your own personal experiences are influencing how you view the issue, be sure to discuss that as opinion—not as fact. Be sure to write in a way that makes it clear when you are paraphrasing the work of others, and do not use direct quotes.
