- Consider the effectiveness of these communications and why or why not they succeed.
With these thoughts in mind:

This week’s course instructions begin with a quotation from social change activist Paul Rogat Loeb: “Whatever our situations, we all face a choice. We can ignore the problems that lie just beyond our front doors; we can allow decisions to be made in our names that lead to a meaner and more desperate world. We can yell at TV newscasters and complain about how bad things are, using our bitterness as a hedge against involvement. Or we can work, as well as we can, to shape a more generous common future.”
What are your thoughts on this statement? To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view? What do you find most or least persuasive about his statement? How would you relate his statement to the social change movements we’ve studied in this course?
