Week Two

Thanks for a great discussion tonight! If you are unsure about how to blog, you can scroll down to see the Blogging Instructions.

Again, please type a 1-2 paragraph thoughtful statement about the following question by Sunday night and then respond to at least two of your classmates' posts by Tuesday's class.

Topic for the blog: Is social change more about addressing what people think or what people do? (Yes, it involves both... but which is more significant?) Does the answer depend on the type or domain of change (think about tonight's discussion) or the issue being changed? Provide concrete examples.

Click on the words Week Two above to get started!

Blogging Instructions - PLEASE READ!!

Here are some basic instructions about how to use this blog:

1. Click the Sign In link at the top right. If you have a google or gmail account, sign in. If not, please go to google.com or gmail.com and create one. Then, re-type in our blog address (greenfieldsoc308.blogspot.com) and sign in. Do NOT create a new blog... you're participating in the one that I established for us.

2. Then, click on the link that says Blogging Instructions - PLEASE READ! (Next week, the new blog title will be Week Two -- how creative!). Read any comments posted and then type in your thoughts in the Post a Comment box and click Post Comment. When you want to go back and read others' posts, just click on the same link, and you'll have access to everyone's ideas.

3. To reiterate the expectations, at some time before Sunday of each week, I would like for you to post a 2 paragraph statement which offers your thoughts/reflections about any issues raised in class during the previous week. Then, before class on Tuesday, you need to post a 1-2 paragraph comment to at least two of your classmates about their posts. Any questions -- please contact me. Have fun!
