Choose from one of the following marginalised groups to focus your essay

Introduction
• Briefly ‘set the scene’ by providing some information about the group who are marginalised (e.g., the size of the population, where they are located or other demographic information)

• Provide a thesis statement (i.e., your argument or a justification for your essay. For example: “People who are intersex are marginalised because …“ OR “A human rights approach to reducing the marginalisation of people are homeless will improve social and health outcomes because … ”. Define key terms when you first introduce them in your essay.

Content – use the Sociological Imagination template to structure your essay
Identify historical, cultural and/or structural factors which are contributing to the marginalisation of the population and/or creating barriers to the social determinants of health. Note: these three factors do not have to be of equal weight or word count and should be relevant to being marginalised. For example:
• Historical Factors – have societal attitudes changed in the way the marginalised population is accepted/viewed (e.g., are they more or less stigmatised now than in the past)?

• Cultural Factors – what are the issues and factors contributing to stigma and/or discrimination of your allocated population in Singapore? Are these linked to social norms or core social values?
Are there different attitudes within the Singaporean population towards this group (e.g., religious groups, minority groups)?

• Structural Factors – what are the barriers to accessing social institutions and resources such as transport, education, employment and health? If relevant, briefly describe services or programs that are targeting the population to reduce inequity and/or marginalisation.

Evidence
Provide specific and relevant evidence to support the points you make (e.g., statistics, quotes, numbers, dates). You must place your citation directly after each sentence where you have taken information, ideas or data from another source.

Discussion and Analysis
• Your discussion should explain how the main factors identified in the content section are impacting the health and social wellbeing of the marginalised population. For example, you might analyse the impact of key social determinants of health on the population.

• Using a human rights approach, provide recommendations to reduce the marginalisation of the population and improve health and wellbeing. Make sure your recommendations are relevant to the diversity and culture of the marginalised population.
