For my social change model, I choose the implementation of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (DADT) in 1993 for the U.S. Armed Forces by former President Bill Clinton. What this directive accomplished was protection for active homosexuals already serving or wishing to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces. In the simplest terms, this allowed service if you did not tell and you could not legally ask service personnel their sexual orientation. (There is more to DADT than this, my space is limited). (Encyclopedia Britannica, events). This was finally repealed in 2011 by President Barak Obama allowing homosexuals to openly serve.
1) At the top of the diagram, we have a new idea or policy, that is created by the public or leadership. 1a) This new idea is then introduced to the public either as a suggestion or mandate.

The graphics I used in the model of social change are straightforward. The red arrows represent the synergy of the ideas/factors and how they feed off each other, helping or hampering the ideas success or failure.
The Lightning bolts represent the interference and encouragement from informal and formal leadership or personal experiences helping or hindering the idea to become accepted. Finally, at the last portion of the social change model I have a light blue arrow with an exclamation point representing a new idea to be implemented again, starting the process over again. The end of these paths demonstrated the cyclical nature of my social change model, and how I view society. (Rifts and Shifts Plenary
Techniques including metaphor and symbolism are used to display the notion of change and attitudes towards it.
After World War I, Adolf Hitler was one of the dictators that arose; which then gained power in Germany in its Great Depression. Hitler rose to power using techniques such as propaganda, censorship, charisma and terror, but that was not all he did. Hitler started his own fascist party in Germany and called it the Nazi Party. Later, Hitler developed anti-semitism, or prejudice against Jews and dehumanized them. He viewed Jews as a separate race not a religion. This caused many changes particularly to the Jews. During World War I the Nazi’s treatment of the Jews caused political, economic, and social changes.
As an resident assistant in the Academy Street Complex our motto is entitled “Recognize you Impact”. This phrase is a demonstration of our residents and ourselves getting engaged on our floor, campus, & community. When looking at the Social Change Model it encourages the resident assistants to motivate our residents to be more than just a member of their complex, but to have active engagement and create a social change.However every resident assistant is working with a different demographic and situations on their floors. Personally, when looking at my situation with transfer upperclassmen it makes me want my residents to have a better experience than their past colleges.
The lightning was one symbol the really stood out from the rest. As a symbol, the lightning could "represent...energy and a fantastic, altering force.

At times, a sudden shift in awareness, or unpredictable news, may shock us and leave us feeling anxious. However, enlightenment of any kind has long term positive implications" (Ivin).

The competencies assume that the organizational change will remain to progress or change and the pressure for normalization is based on sound evidence-based practice will remain (AONE, 2015). The Model for Evidence-Based Practice Change is the model that appears to be the most streamline.

First, Big surveillances has changed America and our society. The NSA began persistently violating the constitution in the process of gathering information on nearly every citizen.

Understanding what is currently happening as well as trends in which the organization is functioning can provide such awareness.
“[Swimming]... It’s a very powerful social change tool because it teaches women confidence, self esteem and strength. It changes them. It’s part of the reason that the guys wanted women out of sports for a very long time.” 1 Donna Lopiano; “The reason we have females separated in sports is because in many sports, the best female athletes can’t compete with the best male athletes. And everybody knows that, but nobody wants to say it. Females are structured like a disabled class for all sorts of, I think, good reasons.” 2 David Epstein. Men and women throughout 1985 to 1995 toward the present day have shown not so distinct differences between genders in swimming.
