Write a paper on a specific community or organization
that they have selected. Please consider the Social Works Grand Challenges when identifying
macro or mezzo level issues to address. This paper will give you practice using components of
Photovoice as a means to convey generalist practice problems and solutions in the field of
community social work, social justice, and social policy. You are expected to use the data that
you collected last week for your forum to complete this assignment (written & photographic).
Your paper should include the following, and at least two bullets should be answered via
contextualized photos:
• Provide an overview of your selected community or organization, what function does it
provide, and how does it currently impact people on a macro/mezzo level. During your
analysis, be sure to describe your communities population, demographics, and any other
relevant information (crime rate, census, poverty rates, etc.)
• Describe the problems that your community or organization faces. Don’t forget to
describe the meaning behind your photo and how it speaks to the problems you plan to
address (Photo needed).
• List at least one theory from the book that you may have considered or used to guide
your choices/decisions on researching the community or organization.
• Are there any agents of change or stakeholders in your community or organization (or
elsewhere) that you would partner with (utilizing your research, readings from your book,
resources, research articles, etc.). Who would you interview to learn more about
leadership in the community and the community’s needs. Talk about why it would be
important to interview this person (or partner with this person).
• Discuss the barriers that you are likely to face, and how you will work to overcome them
with solutions (political, economic, social, cultural, etcetera). Don’t forget to describe the
meaning behind your photo and how it speaks to the importance of solutions you plan to
implement (Photo needed).
• Utilizing what you have read, discussed, reviewed, and analyzed so far in this course
write a summary/conclusion.
Format: Each paper should follow seventh edition APA formatting rules, be double-spaced,
type-written, and 3-4 pages in length (750-1,000 words). A title page, annotated bibliography,
and references page should be included, but these pages do not count toward the 3-4 page
body of your text. Photographs should also be included in your paper, but do not count toward
your word/page count. Please submit your work in Word or Pages. Please use no fewer than 4
