Ch. 3 & 4
I learned that on pg 121 that in any discussion of power and its redistribution, that one should link the issue directly to the organization's mission and keep it in that context. This is interesting to me because I never thought of this as something to be done when talking to organizations. Knowing that change is difficult (pg. 68) this can serve as a useful tool when helping addressing things of this manner. I also like how the book addresses the fact that change is difficult and addresses it straight on.
I connected the talk about how in societies nothing being distributed equally (pg. 95) to what I learned this past semester in intro to poverty studies. This reminded me of all the things we learned about why people live in poverty and what makes it so difficult for them to get out. As the resources in these poorer neighborhoods are very limited compared to those in wealthier neighborhoods. This unequal distribution is more harmful than it is helpful and more people are affected by this than we might think.
A question I have is, how does one bring up the conversation of change if they aren't sure what to say? What if they are scared/nervous to bring it up, what should be done?
