Week 6 assignment

Application: Critical
Analysis I

Note: Please complete the Application Assignment prior to
the Discussion question this week

Often there are many contributing causes in the development
of a specific problem/issue These causes may be complex and may involve
individuals, institutions, and/or environmental factors, for example This
complexity increases the difficulty in creating a solution for the problem
Thus, prior to developing solutions, there must be a critical analysis of the
problem/issue The analysis must address the many potential causes of the
problem/issue and determine which had the most impact on its development
Critical analysis relies on the literature and resources that address the
specific problem

In this Application, you will focus on a critical analysis
of the problem utilizing the findings from the literature collected in Weeks 4
and 5

To prepare:

Review the resources you collected and summarized in Weeks 4
and 5

Template,” located in the Resources area on the left navigation bar

Think about the causes of the problem or the issue you have
identified, and consider who or what are the major contributors to this
problem

Think about the impacts of the problem

By Day 7, briefly describe, in 2-3 pages, the problem/issue
and the problem statement you developed

Identify the major contributors to the problem (who, what)
and briefly explain how they contribute to/cause the problem
