The Impact of Theory on Social Change

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
Margaret Mead, American anthropologistThose that enter the rewarding profession of school counseling may not truly understand all that they can achieve in this role. Like a stone thrown in a pond that causes ripples across the water, you never know how your work with one student may affect others with whom the student interacts. In addition, you might not see how your work with one population of students affects the greater good of the community.As a school counselor, you must harness your power to impact social change. In this Reflection, you reflect upon Week 1, in which you explored how school counseling theories influence the process of becoming a scholar-practitioner who effects positive social change.Think about what it means to be a scholar-practitioner. Scholar: someone who engages in literature and best practices. Practitioner: someone who practices a profession. Becoming a scholar-practitioner implies that you are merging these two professional aspects together to become more effective in your trade. It also means that you are cognizant of the need to build upon the science of your profession with the new knowledge that is attained and practiced by your colleagues. How can encompassing the role of a scholar-practitioner also guide you in your efforts to effect positive social change?Taking into account what you have learned in this course, think about how the development of your own personal theoretical orientation can also contribute to becoming a scholar-practitioner who effects social change.In a 3- to 5-page paper, explain how the development of your own personal theoretical orientation in school counseling can also contribute to becoming a scholar-practitioner who effects positive social change.Be sure to support your reflection assignment with specific references to the resources and other current literature in the Walden Library.

I Have a Dream Speech Martin Luther King, Jr. (History Task)
Speech, 8-28-1963On August 28, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech. Speaking from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., King stood before an estimated quarter of a million people who had gathered to demonstrate, calling for the passage of a Civil Rights Act.This speech would be influential in the passage of both the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Both of these Acts put an end to the Jim Crow South.#1) Please read the complete instructions FIRST!#2) NEXT read the following background, BEFORE you read the document:Dr. Martin Luther King opened his speech by discussing the Emancipation Proclamation, that had been issued by Abraham Lincoln one hundred years earlier, which freed slaves after the American Civil War. But, the Emancipation did not eliminate racism or racial inequality. Although slavery had long been illegal, African Americans in the 1960s were kept from their Constitutional rights due to segregation and discrimination, for 100 years.

Although the Emancipation had been a beacon of hope for African Americans, he pointed out that there was still much work to do before they could be considered “free.” He referenced the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, and pointed out that African Americans were unable to take advantage of the liberties promised to them by these documents, and the founding fathers, that was granted to other citizens. These documents stated that all men are created equal? Yet, this statement was not true for African Americans who were not being treated as equals.King said the movement would not back down until there was justice and equality for everybody. He listed a series of demands, from the African-American community, that included granting them the right to vote across the entire United States, getting rid of “Whites Only” signs and spaces, ending police brutality, and improving their living conditions. He called for a country where people could coexist peacefully; a society where his children would not be judged or treated harshly simply because of the color of their skin. #3) Read the document, it is attached to the Discussion Board #3 assignment, found in Assignments on our class home page. #4) These are some questions to consider for your posts. Please, understand, it is not a requirement for you to answer all these questions. I prefer for students to make a relevant point or argument, based on their reactions to the document. But, if you need some direction, these are possible subjects:-What significance does the Emancipation Proclamation, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution have in Kings speech?-What is your reaction to this speech, now that you have read it in its entirety? Has your impression of its content changed at all?-It has been more than 50 years since King gave his speech. Did his dream come to fruition? Expand on this question.#5) Post your main discussion. PLEASE, make a relevant point about what you have read, and your reactions to it. Your original reply should be at least four paragraphs. Make some points or other arguments. It is perfectly fine to DISAGREE or have an adverse opinion.

What is the product? Why is the ad intriguing? What is the ad trying to communicate in terms of why one should purchase their product?

Rough Draft due Wed. of Week 11. Essay 3 due 11-12 Visual Rhetoric Analysis This paper should be written in MLA format. The length is no less than two (full pages) and no more than four (full) pages. Do not use first person perspective; use third. You can just submit a PDF or file of the picture of the advertisement you are using. Paragraph 1: Talk about the online ad that you use. This paragraph is where you present a general overview of the ad and the product. The last sentence of this paragraph is your thesis. Your thesis offers a quick summary of what the ad is attempting to communicate. Here are some examples of thesis statements: Product X face cream attempts to sell to women customers by peddling the concept of eternal youth shown through the images of dewy-skinned, desirable, young females. Product X cola tries to appeal to adventure seeking teens by showing images of attractive young people enjoying extreme sports. Product X automobile wants to lure status-seeking consumers by showing images of jealous onlookers whispering and watching as this brand of car drives by them. Paragraph 2: Think about your thesis statement and how the ad accomplishes its goal. Does the ad communicate through photos of sexy people? Does it have written text that lists statistics as to why this product is superior? In the introduction, you talked about the ad in general. This is where you talk about the specific details of the ad. Through these details, does the ad use the rhetorical appeals of reason, credibility, or emotion or a combination of these? Be certain to explain. A paper that simply describes the ad but can not pinpoint the use of rhetorical appeals is not going to earn a passing grade. Paragraph 3: To whom is the ad trying to appeal? Do not just say all consumers. Is this ad geared toward aging women attempting to look young? Is it geared toward aging men trying to recapture youthful vigor? Be specific in pinpointing the ads target audience. Paragraph 4: Is the ad effective in accomplishing its goal? Talk about why or why not. Does it reach its intended audience? Here are some tips to remember. Logic: An argument that uses logic uses numbers, facts, and statistics to make a point. For example, the ad may say that 9 out of 10 people who use this toothpaste do not suffer tooth decay. Credibility: An argument that uses credibility uses “experts” to make a point. For example, the ad may say that a certain athlete endorses a brand of sneaker or a doctor endorses a brand of vitamin. Emotion: An argument that uses emotion “tugs at our heart strings” or makes us laugh to make a point. For example, the ad may play sad music and say that a cute dog will die if you do not give to an animal charity.
