Critical Anaylysis: Engage,

Diversity

Overview
For this activity, you will critically analyze how those within your chosen
population engage with your topic. You will identify what is already working
well and opportunities for change. Completing this activity will result in a draft
of the critical analysis section of your project. It also provides an opportunity to
obtain valuable feedback from your instructor that you can incorporate into
your project submission.
Directions
In this activity, you will consider the elements of your topic you can develop to
encourage, promote, and transform conversations about diversity. Include
diverse perspectives from varied sources to support your points. You should
continue to gather the sources you will integrate into your final project, which
include two resources from course materials and two resources from the
library. Look to the SNHU Shapiro Library for assistance in finding evidence
and resources from outside the course. For this activity, you will discuss how
to collaborate constructively with your chosen population group. You will then
describe at least one positive element related to your topic and, finally, one
element that could benefit from change.
You are not required to answer each question below the rubric criteria but may
use them to better understand the criteria and guide your thinking.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

1. Integrate reliable evidence from varied sources throughout your
   paper to support your analysis.
2. It is important to draw from a more diverse pool of perspectives
   from varied sources to support the analysis. This is different from
   the Citations and Attributions rubric criterion.
3. Reliable evidence from varied sources should be interwoven
   throughout the paper itself, while citing and attributing sources will
   be represented as APA in-text citations and a reference list at the
   end of your work.
4. You will be evaluated on both criteria.
5. Discuss how you would constructively collaborate with your
   population to encourage their engagement with your chosen topic.
6. Consider how you would develop a dialogue with your population
   about the topic you have chosen. What are your ideas for
   supporting constructive and inclusive conversation and programs
   of engagement?
7. Describe at least one positive element within your topic that supports
   transformation.
8. What conversational and collaborative approaches have already
   been successful? Visualize how this positive element could have
   a ripple effect towards a transformative conversation about your
   topic. This is not simply your opinion but should be supported by
   reliable evidence.
9. If you do not think your topic has been engaged with positively or
   successfully, explain why you have come to this conclusion.
10. Describe at least one specific element within your topic that could
    benefit from change.
11. Consider how your topic has been discussed and represented.
    What approaches could be more constructive? What could be
    done differently to encourage, promote, or transform your topic?
    This is not simply your opinion but should be supported by reliable
    evidence.
