  • Social stratification
  • Power and institutional change

This module moves from moral and strategic reasoning to the social systems that organize real lives. You will analyze a shared problem, identify the actors and incentives involved, and distinguish individual failure from institutional design.

Choose one persistent collective problem as your case: climate action, housing, public health, platform governance, migration, education, or another issue with competing interests and shared consequences.
