Contemporary Social Problem Discussions (CO 1-7)
During the semester, you will be asked to post two discussions on contemporary social problems in the United States. By following the news on reputable media sites – that does not include Facebook – you will find a social issue/problem that catches your interest. Topics could include police brutality, poverty, discrimination, child welfare issues, housing policy, etc.
History tells us that there are not any entirely new social issues. There are only old problems perhaps in new contexts or like the old saying goes, “old wine in new bottles.” So as the philosopher and historian Edmund Burke is famous for saying, “Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it.” Therefore, we want you to look at your current issue/problem in a historical context. For instance, you might want to look into the rise of white nationalism, Fascism, or sometimes called the Alt-Right Political Movement which is increasing in size and influence. You might conclude that there are many parallels between today’s movement and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan in the late 19th and early 20th Century in terms of their beliefs, methods, and goals. If that is so, you may be able to predict the future course of white nationalism or better understand its attraction to its adherents and influence on society in general.
The instructions for the specific discussion are: 1) You select your CSP based on your interests; 2) Identify a historical event or period related to your topic and do research on the historical event – its origin, social impact, and legacy, including at least three references. Summarize your findings in a couple of paragraphs; and 3) Finally draw a conclusion based on parts one and two above. Original posting should not exceed 400 words.

Police Brutality
Police brutality in the United States of America is one of the most significant social issues. To deal with such incidences, most people have formed social organizations that champion human rights. The Black Lives Matter campaign is an excellent example of a social movement launched in 2013 in the United States of America following the acquittal of George Zimmerman and the killing of Trayvon Martin, a teenager, in February 2012 (Jean, 2020). The movement’s main aim is to challenge the face of police brutality and abolish racism in the USA.
Police brutality in the United States of America has contributed to several adverse effects. Cases of police brutality have contributed to unprecedented deaths. For example, George Floyd, in 2020, succumbed to police brutality issues. Most citizens in the country have lost their loved ones to police brutality, causing suffering and misery among the public. Cases of police brutality have indeed contributed to more harm than good in society (Graham et al., 2020). Socially, police brutality has also contributed to the losing public trust with the law governing authorities and agencies. The impact police brutality has caused in society has dramatically impacted people negatively and caused more harm than good.
Socially, the impacts of police brutality are very severe in society. These inhuman activities affect almost everyone in a country and looking for ways to solve these problems will be the most effective approach. Looking for ways to solve these social issues will help create a peaceful coexistence in public and secure the careers of police officers whose performance will be rated positively (Lumsden, 2017). Across the world, vices like police brutality, among other social issues, significantly affect people, and finding contingencies to solve these issues will be a significant step taken to ensure peace.
