Q5

Part A

This week, we are focusing on social change in our discussions. You will often be asked to think about social change during your time at Walden, and hopefully, you will pursue social change in your professional life as well.

Let’s begin by looking at how social change is defined within Walden’s 2020-21 catalog:

“Walden University defines positive social change as a deliberate process of creating and applying ideas, strategies, and actions to promote the worth, dignity, and development of individuals, communities, organizations, institutions, cultures, and societies. Positive social change results in the improvement of human and social conditions.”

In at least one paragraph, complete the questions/tasks below. Be as specific as possible:

· What is your definition of social change? This answer should come from you, so please do not look up any definitions. This is about your thoughts.

· How does social change happen in your life? Think about different aspects of your life, including personal, professional, and educational.

· Quote an idea or passage from Walden’s definition.

· Explain how the quote connects with your own ideas about social change.

Weekly Discussion Challenge: Look at Part A. In a one sentence summary, explain the main idea of Walden’s social change definition in your own words. Underline this sentence in your posting.
