Examples include poverty, homelessness, child abuse, human trafficking, and domestic violence, to name a few. You will begin your exploration of the topic by finding three current peer-reviewed articles related to your chosen social problem. You will then use information from these sources to support your discussion on why you have chosen this topic.
