Diversity Class week 3

You are a journalist for an independent, nonprofit news organization that focuses on societal changes. The news organization utilizes a unique social media platform not only to share the news with its readers but also to have a conversation about complex issues with their readers.

Your manager has asked you to create a presentation on a major social movement and its impact on society. The news organization and your manager hope that their readers will share their thoughts on social justice and its impact on them after reading your presentation.

You can choose from the Civil Rights, Black Lives Matter, and Me Too movements. You can also write about a different movement with approval from your faculty member. You will utilize this selection in your Week 4 assignment, too.  

Create a 10- to 15-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation to answer the following questions in relation to your chosen social justice movement:

  • Define social justice.
  • Explain why it is important to teach and discuss social justice.
  • Examine an instance of social injustice of your choice related to your selected movement.
  • Assess which groups are most affected by this social injustice instance.
  • Assess how social injustice has impacted you personally and how it has impacted your thinking or how your thinking has evolved as you learned more about social justice movements. 
  • Assess potential actions to properly address the social injustice instance. 
  • Describe lessons that can be learned from your chosen movement.

In addition to the 10 to 15 slides of content, you need to include an introduction slide, a reference slide, and detailed speaker notes in your presentation.

Support your presentation with proper scholarly sources. Cite all references using APA format.

        Carl Rogers' concept of Stages of Therapeutic Change fascinates me because it demonstrates how people can develop when given the proper support. Rogers believed that everyone has an innate desire to achieve self-actualization but fear past experiences or a mismatch between our perception of ourselves and reality can hold us back (Feist, Feist, & Roberts, 2021). According to Rogers therapy allows people to safely explore their feelings while gradually becoming more authentic. The process begins with resistance or denial in which clients may avoid unpleasant emotions. They become more aware of their feelings over time and can express them without judgment. Later on they begin to accept responsibility for their decisions experiment with new behaviors and gain confidence in themselves. Clients often achieve greater self-acceptance and personal growth in the final stages allowing them to relate to others more authentically. Someone with low self-esteem for example may find it difficult to discuss painful experiences at first. They can gradually explore these emotions recognize their strengths and make choices that reflect who they truly are using Rogers' approach which emphasizes empathy and unconditional positive regard.

        Hi all of you wonderful people,

        Thanks for two great weeks of discussion so far! As we delve into this week three discussion, I wanted to provide another opportunity to dig deeper. I'm on a break between strategy meetings and one of our sidebar conversations was enlightening so I wanted to share it with you all. We were reframing challenges as opportunities and one of the foundational concepts was about how significant we feel, not how successful we are , both professionally and personally. Given that we are studying Humanistic Psychologists this week, I thought that idea was ripe for this conversation!

        Fellow learners, feel free to riff on the difference between significant and successful. Do you all think there is a difference?

                Overview of Case Studies Assignment Instructions

                Overview

                Each case study type and its design are slightly different. These differences are important for researchers to consider when selecting a case study type most appropriate for their research. Regardless of the type or design, each case study centers around its subject and object. Researchers typically build their cases around the purpose that drives a type and design. Biblical integration IS required in this assignment.

                Instructions

                After reviewing the required material stated in this week’s module, address the following in a written paper using the current APA format:

                · Provide an introduction to case study types and provide an applicable example.

                · As most case study designs are driven by their purpose, explain the primary case study designs/structures (formats).

                · With regard to ‘quality of research and it’s design’, describe the tests of validity and reliability.

                · As it pertains to ‘digital’ case studies, explain ‘networked phenomena’
