Societal Engagement Summary

After reading the Sensible Oxymoron listed in the “Readings” section, replace the word, “oxymoron” with a word that is as descriptive of the consulting relationship, and indicate why you selected that word and how it relates to the consulting role.

The Presidential election of 2000 was the first time we can account for having an election on both sides of the political parties making a real outreach to Latinos, but why is it that although we have been a part of this country’s history since before the beginning did it take so long for the Latino to final be a part of this civic engagement process?

Intervention: MHP educated Timothy about socialization. MHP taught Timothy techniques for anger management. MHP discussed with Timothy the importance of education. MHP provided additional educational worksheets on peer engagement. MHP demonstrated the difference between appropriate and inappropriate behavior. MHP instructed Timothy on the benefits of improving his academic performance. MHP provided Timothy with strategies to improve his social skills. MHP provided strategies to improve his study habits. MHP provided positive reinforcements for improved behavior and better social skills.

Closer collaboration between industry and research will also improve commercial and economic outcomes from government investment in public research. Commercialisation through a new focus on the ‘development’ in research and development may require Australian institutions to take greater risks and find peace with occasional failure, in order to develop real commercial success.

The way research is done has dramatically changed over the years. In Chapter 21 of the Word and

My Formation Need for this semester was intentional engagement with the practice of hospitality. I wanted to practice hospitality towards my physical neighbors, my professional neighbors, and my ecclesial neighbors. Anticipating future opportunities that may arise, giving my wife and I the opportunity to serve more intentionally (and professionally) as neighbors and people of peace in our neighborhood.

Many universities claim strong academics or a beautiful campus or an emphasis on diversity, but pale in comparison to the engagement that is emphasized at Northwestern. Northwestern’s engagement, in its own community and globally, sets the school apart. The school spirit at Northwestern is incredible; I have heard several accounts from Northwestern students expressing the engagement of their fellow students both in the classroom and outside of it. An active student body creates a group of alumni involved in their community, equipped with the excellent education Northwestern provides them with. I want to be a part of that involvement and pass that on to others once graduated. The engagement prevalent in my specific desired major, Human Communication

In the article named “Civic Education and Political Participation”. At beginning the author said that he found the people who engagement civic significantly decline especially young people , and today’s young people believed in America’s principle and in America dream. They are patriotic, tolerant and compassionate. And they said they want to volunteer during college. But they always characterize their volunteering as an alternative to official political. They have limit knowledge of government’s impact, either on themselves or on those they seek to assist. Then he found that the solidarity organizations that dominated the U.S. landscape have weakened and the principle of individual choice has emerged as our central value. So he came to focus about the civic education. The most failure of civic education is that we have made a major

Four members of the University of Queensland Australia sought to establish if government agencies at state and federal levels in Australia use research and expertise. Their choice of methodologies, findings and analysis clearly provide an answer to their central question; are policy makers interested in research?

Qualitative assessments of impacts of my research program are important. I have been very fortunate that scholars writing in quality journals variously say my work is “authoritative”, “inspirational”,

Throughout the lesson, I noticed that engagement increased over time. During the initial lesson, students were uninterested in the reading. It was an article, something that students dreaded reading. Jay McTighe (2010) believes, “learners of all ages are more likely to focus when they can see a clear and worthwhile learning goal” (p.283). With this in mind, I made students aware of the learning goal and how it would benefit them. I had to constantly remind students that the strategy would help them score higher on the reading portion of their STAAR assessment. Even after hearing the rationale behind learning the strategy and being promised that they would be allowed to apply the strategy to their own reading, all students were not on board. I only have one special needs student in my summer school class. That student was the most vocal about not wanting to read or apply the strategy. I constantly explained to that student and others who did not want to learn the POSSE strategy that it would help them on future reading and comprehension. As the days passed and students realized we would be practicing the strategy daily, they eventually began to work harder at learning and applying the strategy to their reading.

It’s so difficult to be succinct! As an institution, we target geographic areas of Greater Cincinnati for community engagement, and called this initiative Art For Life. Art For Life establishes partnerships in the target areas to strengthen the Museum’s relationships in the community, to provide programming to expand audiences and exposure to the collection.

The three articles this week review civic engagement with a focus on income Inequality and trust in the US and European countries. In the first article “Civic Engagement in American Democracy” by Theda Skocpol and Morris Fiorina they review civic engagement inequality based on income level. They believe that participation and the distribution of the participants are critical to ensure there is equality for political policy decisions. The research suggests that people with higher education or income are more political active. With the lower income people having differing concerns this gap in participation means that their voice is not heard even though they benefit from many programs. Due to the participation gap the political parties are

Today’s managers have a growing need to understand scientific findings and incorporate them into decision making. Research always facilitates effective management. At many government organizations research drives every aspect of major decision making. In some organizations, research is so fundamental that management makes hardly any significant decision without the benefit of some kind of research.

There is a current trend now from educational institutions even in organizations outside the education sector wherein research and groundwork is encouraged to be a continuing product of their staff. While some are bound to research work, many are pressed on the demands of it. This is because research is not only a work of an individuals. Educational institutions which aim for a culture in research must also raise, encourage and uphold the work done by the staff. This can be done through distributing workloads, creating an environment conducive for research work, appropriate incentives and many others (Hanover Research, 2014).
