...strengths and resources of a community and can help uncover solutions. Once community strengths and resources are inventoried and depicted in a map, you can more easily think about how to build on these assets to address community needs and improve health. Finally, asset mapping promotes community involvement, ownership, and empowerment. What is a community asset? A community asset or resource is anything that improves the quality of community life. Assets include: • The capacities and abilities of community members. • A physical structure or place. For example, a school, hospital, or church. Maybe a library, recreation center, or social club. • A business that provides jobs and supports the local economy. • Associations of citizens. For example, a Neighborhood Watch or a Parent Teacher Association. • Local private, public, and nonprofit institutions or organizations. When to use Asset Mapping •You want to start a new local program and need information about available resources. For example, you are interested in teen mothers finishing their education. You could draw a community asset map that identifies school drop-out prevention, tutoring, and education counseling programs for young teen mothers.

...should be very easy to identify the basic elements of its particular rhetorical situation. Text The text in question is a 17-minute speech written and delivered by Dr. King. The basic medium of the text was an oral speech that was broadcast by both loudspeakers at the event and over radio and television. Dr. King drew on years of training as a minister and public speaker to deliver the speech. He also drew on his extensive education and the tumultuous history of racial prejudices and civil rights in the US. Audiences at the time either heard his speech in person or over radio or television broadcasts. Part of the speech near the end was improvised around the repeated phrase “I have a dream.” Author http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/625/08/ Page 1 of 9 Purdue OWL: The Rhetorical Situation 9/11/13 7:53 PM Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was the most iconic leader of the American Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s.

...When googling reasons to volunteer there several websites with different lists of reasons but one thing always remained the same list to list; ‘to help’ always remained towards the bottom of the list if it was included at all. And ‘valuable on a resume’ always ranked near the top. Over the years we have lost sight of why volunteering is so important. One of the biggest issues with service-learning and volunteering is that it teaches a false sense of need in the community and how to respond to this need. Service-learning teaches a false sense of need and what created the need. Often times need is seen as a lack of something the client needs or wants. The deficiency is placed solely on the client rather than in the system. Service-learning...

...Emergency Planning Case Study #3 October 5, 2012 Risk Loss, Prevention & Emergency Planning Case Study #3 Risk Loss, Prevention and Emergency Planning Case Study 3 Disaster preparedness is achieved partially through readiness measures that expedite emergency response, rehabilitation and recovery and result in rapid, timely and targeted assistance. It is also achieved through community-based approaches and activities that build the capacities of people and communities to cope with and minimize the effects of a disaster on their lives. Disaster preparedness is a continuous and integrated process resulting from a wide range of activities and resources rather than from a distinct sectorial activity by itself. It requires the contributions of many different areas—ranging from training and logistics, to health care to institutional development. Viewed from this broad perspective, disaster preparedness encompasses the following objectives: • Increasing the efficiency, effectiveness and impact of disaster emergency response mechanisms at the community, national and Federation level. This includes: * the development and regular testing of warning systems (linked to forecasting systems) and plans for evacuation or other measures to be taken during a disaster alert period to minimize potential loss of life and physical damage * the education and training of officials and the population at risk * the training of first-aid and emergency...

The Asian American Studies grew out of the social movements and civil struggles of the 1960’s and 1970’s.
