Conduct Internet research about poverty in the United States and create a photo essay that
depicts the economic struggles that many Americans are facing today. Photo essays consist of a collection of photographs or images that portray a particular message. The idea of this assignment is to be creative, so don’t let a new type of assignment hinder you. The photo essay should have an organized theme, linking two photos in some way in the essay.
Theme ideas include a certain area or region (urban or rural), lost jobs, a personal story, the recession, immigration, economic impact of globalization, low-paying jobs, slums, kids and poverty, hunger, elderly and poverty, single parents and poverty, health care and poverty, drugs, or other social issues that may be associated with poverty. You are not limited to these ideas; you may pick any theme that you think depicts the economic struggles of Americans.
the following needs to be in one document:
1. Two photos that support one common social theme
2. Each photo must come from a different webpage, article, or source. In other words, do not find an article or photo essay online and copy both photos from that one source. The photos may be your own photos, photos found online, SOC 1010, Introduction to Sociology 2 or a combination of both.
3. Provide a 100-word (minimum) description for each of the two photos that states what each of the photos represents.
4. The descriptions should educate the reader about the social theme you are presenting.
5. Provide a 150-word (minimum) summary of your photo theme and explain how social class as a social structure
influences the opportunities or life chances for the individuals or individual in your photo essay.
6. Conclude with a statement of what you learned from this photo essay assignment
