2.  Another world leader who spent most of his life fighting for social change was Nelson Mandela. As described in information related to a Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Frontline special on Mandela, not everyone is able to see the results of their hard-fought efforts in their lifetimes. Sometimes, they can only lay the groundwork for the next generation. Mandela was able to lead and experience this transformation in South Africa which brought an end to apartheid and now has a constitution that guarantees the rights of all people. According to Mendoza Mandela believed in the importance of changing yourself first and said, one of the most difficult things is not to change society — but to change yourself.

Revised:

Nelson Mandela was a world leader who spent most of his time fighting for social change.  As described in information related to a Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Frontline special on Mandela (1999), not everyone is able to see the results of their hard-fought efforts in their lifetimes.  Sometimes, the groundwork has to be only laid for the next generation. Mandela was able to lead and experience this transformation in South Africa which brought an end to apartheid and now has a constitution that guarantees the rights of all people. Mandela believed in the importance of changing yourself first and he said, “one of the most difficult things is not to change society, but to change yourself” (Mendoza, 2013, “9 simple ways to keep Nelson Mandela’s Legacy alive”).

Second One:

 

Social change is a founding value and educational goal at Walden University as expressed in the Mission and Vision statements, and incorporated in every course curriculum. The Walden Vision statement reads as follows: Walden University envisions a distinctively different 21st-century learning community where knowledge is judged worthy to the degree that it can be applied by its graduates to the immediate solutions of critical societal challenges, thereby advancing the greater global good. While bringing about social change on either a micro or macro level can be daunting, Mandela was quoted as saying: It always seems impossible until it’s done. The teachings of Gandhi, Mandela, King and many others continue to influence new generations of scholars and social change practitioners.  

Corrected

 As Walden University (2013) expressed in the Mission and vision statements, social change is a founding value and educational goal incorporated in every course curriculum.  The Walden vision statement reads as follows: 

Walden University envisions a distinctively different 21st-century learning community where knowledge is judged worthy to the degree that it can be applied by its graduates to the immediate solutions of critical societal challenges, thereby advancing the greater global good. (Walden University, 2013).

While bringing bringing about social change on either a micro or macro level can be daunting, Mandela (n.d.) explained that “it always seems impossible until it’s done”.  The teachings of Gandhi, Mandela, King and many others continue to influence new generations of scholars and social change practitioners.

Part 2 of Assignment

 

In general, when one researches what helps students learn APA format, the sources usually suggest a lot of practice. You will be expected to put your main Discussion responses and Assignments in APA format in all of your graduate courses, so you will, indeed, get this practice. Peer reviews are also noted as one way to effectively receive feedback.

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Review the feedback that you provided and received for this week’s Discussion 1 exercise.
  • Reflect on the process of receiving, as well as providing, constructive feedback.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 an explanation of the process that you followed in order to provide feedback to your partner. What did you learn about APA format or the Publication Manual as a result of this exercise? Do you feel the references that were cited were scholarly sources of information for the paper? Why or why not? What did you learn from the feedback that you received that will improve your APA-format writing style?
