This course focuses on societal problems in Canada and in particular British Columbia and Kamloops. Whether a social issue is a problem or not is often disputable; students will study how different groups interpret the same social condition and issue. This course offers an opportunity for students to identify their own perspectives and acknowledge others' points of view toward social problems. Students will work in groups to address particular issues so that, as human service workers, they will have collaborative experience and a growing willingness to address and resolve these problems.
Prerequisite: Admission to the Human Service Programs
