Societal Engagement Summary

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

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.

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

When determining the project students would be working on, the Education Committee of The Project came across an article on Fred Keller’s company – benefit cooperation certified company. These companies essentially focus on the planet, the community, and their profitability. In fact, he was actually one of the judges that were present on The Project panel. It was Fred Keller that recommended the students engage in The Project so they can learn how their project could become benefit cooperation certified. Having the students learn how their project can become certified allowed them to be civically engaged which ultimately impacts the community in a positive manner. “Civic engagement is the involvement in an activity related to community, often

Children with a diagnosis of being autistic have a greater chance of being friendless or non-sociable in situation, as of their nonexistence of initiative for social interactions with others. Baker (2000) chose to investigate, how to incorporate social engagement behavior though the use of games with their siblings. The study have identify six dependent variable for this study. They were

Engagement/participation. The housing community has students/residents from various walks of life. These students tend to have a wide range of interests that differ vastly. Consequently, when certain events or activities are proposed throughout the course of an academic year, there is a likelihood that several residents may be uninterested. One possible way of solving the issue and stabilizing/improving participation levels is to carry out a survey or poll for the sole purpose of gauging residents' interests and hobbies at the start of every semester. This will help group individuals with similar interests and also create room for relating their interests with those with less similar interests. It also provides each resident with a voice

In his research of IR, William Knight (2010) asked people from the field what they think makes them effective institutional researchers. Several themes emerged that were not considered by Terenzini. They are engagement, visibility and trust; helping leaders make sense of IR findings; being self-reflective and proactive and other personal qualities. (W. Knight, 2010)

Bradford, B., Stanko, E.A., & Jackson, J. (2009). Using research to inform policy: The role of

Through this course, I have acquired the knowledge of various traits and characteristics that when properly utilized will advance me greatly in all aspects of my life. The one subject that has been discussed that really struck home with me was the difference between involvement and engagement. I always assumed that these particular words were synonyms of one and another. However, that is simply not the case. Engagement leads to the most satisfaction of an individual, whereas involvement leads to the most retention for the individual. Looking back, the activities I enjoyed the most as a youth all had these traits apart of them. The more I was engaged the more happiness and excitement I got as myself and the team progressed towards our

The reality of policing is that not enough devoted time and resources to building relationships with the people with whom law enforcement interact the most: disenfranchised, marginalized communities where jobs, hope, and stability are in short supply and violence, guns, drugs, and despair are all too common. And plainly stated, none of this will happen unless police leaders and supervisors constantly embody the traits they expect of their subordinates, and unless effective engagement is a required, critical, and measured area of job performance.

According to Coplan (2009) there are three levels of engagement present during the cognitive process of viewer engagement, of which recognition is the first. Recognition builds the characters as individual, constant human agents in the viewers’ minds (Coplan 2009:102), and in Invasion of the Body Snatchers (Kaufman 1978) this is prevalent from the beginning.

In order to simplify the relationships and processes among those three stakeholders so that it could be easier to describe and be understood, this essay will use a small model to explain the relationships and the process(see figure 1). The figure shows the evidence-based policy process is that: the researchers conduct research and reviews based on people’s behaviour; the government and policy makers introduce policies with consideration of those evidence; the people are effected by the implementation of those policies; the researchers conduct another research to evaluate the the policy implementation and effects. Therefore, by looking at three relationships or connections, i.e. the government and the researchers, the government and the people, the people and the researchers, this paper can focus on three kinds of obstacles that emerged from three relationships: the evidence that researchers collect from people, the connection that government towards researchers, and the policy process and implementation that government does to introduce

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.

Reasons why engagement is relevant and significant are variously described in the literature. For instance, Chen, Gonyea and Kuh (2008) claim that “by being engaged, students develop habits of the mind and heart that promise to stand them in good stead for a lifetime of continuous learning” (para. 2). Academic engagement includes identifying and managing student and staff expectations, both within the formal ‘classroom’ environment and outside of it. Success in the university context requires interdisciplinary knowledge and skills. This element encompasses the capacity for students to take “active control... by planning, monitoring and evaluating their learning” (Scevak & Cantwell, 2007, p. 37). This might include monitoring their development of such attributes as personal, computer, and information literacy, academic writing, referencing, note-taking, and time management (Brick, 2006; Clarke, 2008). This article provides online educators with a tested list of engaging video tools to enhance formative assessment in the online classroom. This article will explore eduCanon, Zaption, EDPuzzle, TED-Ed, Vialogues and Blubbr.tv.

I chose to do my Community Engagement experience at Tree Street Youth in Lewiston, Maine. The mission of Tree Street is:
