How can you channel accelerating change in technology to improve our social condition?

Discussion: Relationship Between Elaborating Evolution and Social Change

 

Change, especially technological change, is accelerating, which in turn affects our culture, language, and organizations. For example, over the last two decades, music, video, and photography have been digitized and entire industries have been transformed. On the horizon, books, education, magazines, and newspapers are being digitized as well; so is biology. How can you channel accelerating change in technology to improve our social condition?

 

To prepare for this Discussion, think about the concept and processes of elaborating evolution and how industries, societies, and cultures evolve amid change and complexity. Consider the influence this concept might have on social change.

 

 

Post an explanation of how elaborating evolution helps explain social change. Then, explain how elaborating evolutionary systems might inform how you, as a leader or manager, can enact positive social change.

Please be detailed in your explanation

Answer

Explain the simple message related to your case study that you wish to communicate.

2-3 page assignment due by Saturday Feb. 06, 2016

Scholarly writing is objective, addresses key stakeholders, clearly states a problem(s), provides the significance of the stated problem(s), and it is logical and organized. The aim of scholarly writing is to make an argument that is supported with evidence. The peer-reviewed journals you have found in your searches for literature in the library are examples of scholarly writing. To be an effective change agent and a leader in the field of education, it is crucial that you have well-developed scholarly writing abilities.

As you have explored your selected case study’s documents, you have read various types of writing that differ from scholarly writing. For example, you may have read blog posts, letters to the editor, newspaper articles, and government reports.

Reflect on the different types of writing used in the resources. Which resources reflected the characteristics of scholarly writing, and which did not? Your role in education will likely require you to not only read various types of writing, but also to use different types of writing in your own communications. As you may have noticed in the case study documents and the resources you have been exploring, the type of writing you use depends on your audience and the purpose of your communication.

For this Assignment, create a simple message related to the case study you selected. In addition, identify three different audiences to receive the message. These audiences may be extracted from the case study documents, or you may identify different audiences appropriate for the message.

Consider how you might convey the same message in writing to three different audiences for your case study.

To prepare for this Assignment, review the documents related to your selected case study. Identify an aspect of the case study, which would require a simple message for three different audiences. These audiences may be extracted from the case study documents, or you may identify different audiences appropriate for the message.

Submit a 2- to 3-page document in which you:

  • Explain the simple message related to your case study that you wish to communicate.
  • Create three written communications—one for each of the three audiences you identified—using the appropriate type of writing for each context. (Each written communication should be approximately two paragraphs long.)

 

  • Explain why different types of writing are appropriate for different audiences, stakeholders, or both. Provide specific examples.

Discuss why this topic is important to this group (include background information) with references.

Community Health Strategy

Advance practice nurses can be found in every aspect of the health care field including out in the community. Advanced practice nurses not only care for the client but all aspects that surround their clients. In this assignment you will focus on promoting the health of the community. You will choose a topic concerning women’s health. In a 5 to 6 page APA formatted paper you will create and discuss a community health promotion that pertains to your topic. Make sure to:

  1. Identify your chosen topic and the demographic area and population that you are targeting.
  2. Discuss why this topic is important to this group (include background information) with references.
  3. Use one community based health promotion model.
  4. Discuss how this model was used in the creation of this community health promotion strategy.
  5. Include your community health promotion strategy.

To prepare for this discussion, construct a mission statement and add it to the homepage of your website. To construct your mission statement, consider the models you reviewed during the Week Four assessments and the tips for writing an effective mission statement from Education World. Next, update your working definition of at-risk. Then, be sure you have created pages for and linked to your Week Three Child Maltreatment Brochure and the Week Four School-Based Efforts: A Plan to Support At-Risk Youth assignment. Finally, if you have not already, adjust your website’s design using the feedback from peers and the instructor received during Week Three.

Initial Post: Create an initial post that includes a link to your website and addresses the following:

    1. Describe the inspiration behind the design of your own mission statement.
    2. Discuss the changes made to your working definition of at-risk and how you believe the changes improved upon your original draft. If you made no changes, explain why not.

Group At-Risk Specialization Mind Map

This assignment provides the opportunity for you to specifically plan the Final Project in Week Six by brainstorming and outlining each required component of your website using a mind map. For this assignment you will select a specific group at risk as a specialization. There are additional groups identified this week and listed as recommended resources to select from. These groups include child immigrants of Central America, homeless veterans, and sub-groups relating to poverty. You may also elect to focus on one of the groups or a sub-group of those already researched during Weeks One thru Five, which comprise the sections of your website.

You will then plan your content and design of this assignment using a digital mind mapping tool, such as bubble.us, coggle, Popplet, Mural.ly, or any other free digital mapping tool of your choosing. Remember to view the privacy policies of each mind mapping option, which are linked with the Recommended Resource description for each recommended tool.
