You will conduct interviews with 2 people who are of different social categories about their perceptions, beliefs, and experiences with social inequalities. These categories can include race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, disability status, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc. Each person should fulfill two or more different categories in order to also analyze intersectionality. For example, if you interview a gay black man, his experiences would be based on the intersection of sexual orientation, race, and gender. You would then select a second person to interview who would intersect with different categories (Asian Straight Man, White Transgender Woman, Hispanic gay women, wealthy black woman, etc.). You can interview any 2 people you want, as long as they are from at least 2 different social categories (they can be the same on others).
You should interview them on their experiences, beliefs, and perceptions about social inequality, and the ways they deal with it in society. Make sure to provide examples of some of the experiences they have had and why they feel they have experienced social inequality. You also should explore which of their social categories they feel have led to the most social inequality (i.e. their race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.).
You should then compare and contrast their views and experiences. Within your comparison you should refer to the course concepts to help analyze and explain your interviewees’ views. You should reference the learning resources and other research sources to discuss how their cultural categories may have influenced their experiences and views. Make sure to also include a discussion on intersectionality. For example, if you are interviewing a white straight woman and a black straight man, you may find that they have had very different experiences with social inequality based both race and gender. Why would that be the case?
You should conclude your essay with a discussion of what you learned from your interviews and what you think should be done to address any major problems that your interviewees have experienced.
I don’t want to see an interview transcript. However, you should be using extensive quotes from your interviewees in your essay in order to validate your discussion.
Thanks!

President Bill Clinton was elected U.S. president in 1992, and he was the first baby boomer elected to the presidency. He and Vice President Al Gore set out to engage in welfare reform, health care reform, economic recovery, and crime control. During the Clinton era, unemployment was low, inflation was low, and the economy flourished. With the George W. Bush election in 2000 and his presidency, terrorism and engagement in the War on Terror took on a central role. A serious recession had begun prior to Barak Obama’s election in 2008 and continued into his presidency. Meanwhile, the Obama administration worked to implement health care reform in the form of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) early in his term.
When charting the historical record, social workers ask more than what occurred. They also ask, “Why, and through what methods?”
For this Discussion, you will explore methods of helping the poor and how they have changed as a result of contemporary social welfare policies. You will also examine how methods for helping the poor have remained the same.
