Issues in Community Studies
Description:
The class is designed as a broad survey course encompassing the important issues facing us as a society. We will explore the causes and consequences of specific community problems and analyze different schools of thought as to their severity while focusing on solutions. We will look at public policy and the differences between command-and-control-direct government regulations and market-based economic incentives for mitigation such problems, and determine which are most appropriate for particular challenges.
