Community Analysis

In this paper you will discuss a need in relation to a specific population ( childcare and single working parents)
within an arena (a community in which you are either placed in field or in which you have lived, worked or
volunteered).
I would like to do my topic on Children’s Home Society where I worked as a Dependency Case Manager in
Tallahassee, FL Community tied in with the effects of childcare and single working parents*
Once you have identified the need, population, and arena; prepare a focused 7-8-pagepaper that does the
following:
1.Provides a description of the population and an overview of the related need. The discussion should be
guided by the frameworks in Netting, Kettner, McMurtry, & Thomas’ Chapters 3 and 4. (About 3 pages)
2.Examines the relationship between the need and the population within the community arena. The analysis
should be based on the frameworks in Netting, Kettner, McMurtry, & Thomas’ chapter’s and 6 regarding
communities. (About 3 pages)
3.Concludes with a brief discussion of the general changes you contend need to be made so that the
population can meet their needs and identifies the type of community system (e.g. mechanical, organismic,
morphogenic, factional, catastrophic). (About 2 pages)
This paper will be no longer than 8 double-spaced pages(in addition to the title and reference pages) with oneinch margins and 12-pointfont. One point will be counted off for each additional page beyond eight. Please use
the American Psychological Style Manual (APA) for complete and consistent referencing.
