Developing a Social Change Campaign

Based on research of current social change campaigns that address your chosen global social problem (hate crimes), create your own social change campaign plan. Your assignment should include the following components:

1. A summary of the global sociological problem (hate crime) based on your research this semester.

2. Draw a sociological conclusion from the compilation of current global events collected within your global sociological problem, including the intersection of class, gender, ethnicity, and access to resources.

3. Identify the current social change campaigns related to your global sociological problem and describe a gap (implementation, targeted demographics – age, gender, ethnicity, etc.) that exists.

4. Devise a plan for your social change campaign based on the gap found. Include the demonstrated presence of the 7 C’s values of the Social Change Model in your plan: Change Objective, Citizenship, Common Purpose, Collaboration, and Controversy with Civility, Consciousness of Self, Congruence, and Commitment.

5. Respond with reflection to the following questions: What does it mean to you to become a social change agent? How does this align with your chosen career?
