In this assignment, you will compare and contrast current policies that address a particular social inequality in the United States to policies that address this same social inequality in other countries (at least two countries required). The goal of this project is to create real apples-to-apples comparisons, so you can use critical thought to provide explanations and insights. With that in mind, your findings will be shared via PowerPoint presentation. A narrated screencast is not required, just the completed presentation slides.
