? Why did this happen from a sociological perspective?
? What social context did it occur in?
? How many are affected annually by the problem?
? Use sociological vocabulary (correctly!) and thoroughly explain your ideas.

critically engaged in the material; that is, show me you’re thinking and you understand the material
