Book: //Citizen You: Doing Your Part To Change The World//

Theme: (1) A New Breed of Leader

Can be used to discuss the next generations challenges and actions to leading in the 21st century.

Students were required to read a section of "Citizen You" which describes the story of Krista Morris who upon journeying to Guatemala had a experience of seeing the local drug trade which caused her to come back home, become a lawyer with the hopes of improving legal controls on pseudoephedrine, a drug that is raving American communities.

In class we reviewed the reading, put forth questions on the new activism, and debated our role as citizens to be active.

Theme: Women in the World

"The current financial crisis presents a real need to challenge ourselves and to rethink the way we do things. We need to draw on the widest range of talent. The vast economic potential of women as an economic force has yet to be realized. An extensive body of research shows that women make significant and proven contributions to business and economic growth. Now is the time to realize and harness the positive effect that women’s economic empowerment and leadership can have on the global economy." (Ernst and Young)

In class we looked at a video talking about the global transformations that are taking place and the role of women in this transformation. Also, we had a discussion over inequality, the glass ceiling, and the need for diversity in gender, as well as, other backgrounds to create a better world.
