People point to video game and porn addiction, bullying, gun culture, dropping male college enrollment and completion rates, attention deficit disorder, binge drinking, and suicide rates as indicators of the problem. In this course, students will assess and describe the boy crisis using credible sources and offer potential amelioratives for it. Analytical Inquiry and Problem Solving Capability course.
