sociological problems in the movie The Pursuit of Happyness

write a 4 page essay about the sociological problems in the movie The Pursuit of Happyness. The first page  and a half have to be a summary of the movie. The rest 2.5 pages need to be about some sociological problems that are shown in the movie. I have an amateur teacher so she didnt give us a guidline sheet or anything. Just told us what I said above. I guess the sociological problems are things like poverty etc.
