LINK: http://youtu.be/XpaOjMXyJGk This youtube video shows a Dove Campaign. The video shows how people view themselves (specifically woman) and how other people view them. The woman in the video are very harsh on themselves and how they look but when everyone else looks at them they see something different. I think that this video is a perfect example of civic engagement because DOVE is trying to spread a message to woman everywhere a problem that a lot of young and older woman deal with, and that is self esteem issues. This video is very uplifting and is the start to trying to inspire and uplift the spirits of woman all around the world.

One of the readings this week discussed the lack of civic learning for a good portion of young adults. These students want civic education as a high school requirement, because they know that "civic engagement offers students a challenging, empowering, and authentic opportunity" in a time when many feel that they cannot make a difference. Additionally, http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/editorials/articles/2011/06/19/these_teens_know_their_stuff/

Cincinnati Public Schools and Ohio's State Board of Education know that parents and families are children's first and most important teachers. Partnerships among families, schools and communities that are child-centered and family-strengthening will guide and motivate students to be productive citizens in a global society.

I chose this as my resource contribution because I attended this school as a young child when it was located on Elm Hill in Roxbury, MA. If you have the time, you should look up who Elma Lewis is and her legacy. This school of fine arts changed my life and instilled in me my first experiences with cultural pride and wanting to engage with my community for change and opportunities.

According to the dictionary, civics is "the branch of political science that deals with civic affairs and the rights and duties of citizens"-in short, it is about citizenship, a bunch of citizens in the same boat. Civics encompasses our connectedness as members first of local communities and then of larger political groupings, such as particular towns, states, and nations.
