First, read the magazine article After Welfare by Katherine Boo (2001) – it is provided as a PDF and accessible link. Then, choose ONE theory covered during Modules 1 or 2 (options pasted below) to analyze the Jones family’s story. Do not just choose the theory you presented or that you know the best…choose the one that best explains what you see happening in the family’s story! You must explain why you chose the theory, use course and theory terminology, reference (cite) class readings/textbook in APA format, and cite specific and appropriate examples from the article to illustrate theoretical applications. Your exam should be written in 12-point Times New Roman font and should be at least 1,000 words in length (including in-text citations, not including the reference page at the end). You may single or double space. Successful exam submissions typically range from 1,000 to 2,000 words. Do not pad your response with “fluff” – keep your analysis concise and concentrated. This is an open-book, open-note exam. Cite all sources used in your response. I’ve provided APA resources in the exam folder. You are NOT allowed to use any form of AI tool to complete your exam. If AI use is suspected, the submission will be analyzed using AI detection tools and graded accordingly.
