1. Length: 3-5 pages (double spaced)
2. Your topic should cover an important political event or an issue. Your topic does not have
to be specific to the state of Texas, although it certainly can be. You
are welcome to write about any important recent or current political
issue in the United States. However, if you choose to write about a
national or a federal issue, at least a portion of your paper should
focus on what it means for Texas. You have a lot of freedom here. As
long as your topic covers something that influences current political
climate in the United States, it should work. Possible topics include
but are not limited to recent elections, landmark Supreme Court cases,
recent bills passed by Federal and State Congress, civil rights and
civil liberties issues, climate change, etc. I’d advise to choose
something you are passionate about. Feel free to reach out to me to
confirm/ask any questions about your topics.
3. Once you choose your topic, you should provide some history of the
issue at hand. If you are writing about a divisive or a
contentious issue, present arguments from all sides. It is ok to include
your opinion on the topic if you’d like, as long as you provide
sufficient evidence and justification.
4. You are required to use and properly cite (APA or MLA formats) at least 3 legitimate sources.
Newspapers are fine, but, please, make sure to check the legitimacy and
leanings of the newspapers you are using. You are also welcome to use
books and academic journals. Do not cite Wikipedia.

Here are the sources I like. I want to make my focus on this paper about the many views how abortion banned is having more negative outcomes in the medical field towards doctors and womens bodies.

Your team leader has asked each member to take time to reflect on the personal identity and the aspects of cultural diversity you represent and how understanding your own traits affect your perspective of cultural diversity. Keep in mind that identity is more than what people “see” when they look at you.

Using what you learned in the reading assignments for Weeks 1 and 2, describe what cultural diversity means to you. Include identifiers of cultural diversity such as race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexual orientation, language, age, disability, religion, and so on. (Remember, there is a variety of characteristics of and contributors to cultural diversity.)

Write a paper based on your reflection, how might understanding your own traits affect your perspective of cultural diversity in and outside of the workplace?
Include a reference page at the end of the reflection. Use a citation generator, such as the Reference & Citation Generator in the Center for Writing Excellence for guidance on formatting your reference list using APA format. Consult the References page on the APA Style website for assistance. Don’t worry about perfection.

2. Do you see yourself as scoring high on some items compared to others? If so, you are more likely to be comfortable in a change agent role. Lack of these attributes and skills does not mean you could not be a change agent—it just means that it will be more difficult and it may suggest areas for development.
3. Are you more likely to be comfortable in a change leadership role at this time, or does the role of change manager or implementer seem more suited to who you are?
4. Ask a mentor or friend to provide you feedback on the same dimensions. Does the feedback confirm your self-assessment? If not, why not?
Toolkit Exercise 8.3
Your Development as a Change Agent
Novice change leaders often picture themselves as being in the right and those that oppose them as somehow wrong. This certainty gives them energy and the will to persist in the face of such opposition. It sets up a dynamic of opposition—the more they resist, the more I must try to change them, and so I persuade them more, put more pressure on them, and perhaps resort to whatever power I have to force change.
1. Think of a situation where someone held a different viewpoint than yours. What were your assumptions about that person? Did you believe they just didn’t get it, were wrong-headed, perhaps a bit stupid?
Or did you ask yourself, why would they hold the position they have? If you assume they are as rational and as competent as you are, why would they think as they do? Think back to Table 8.2. Are you at stage one, two, three, or four?

2. Are you able to put yourself into the shoes of the resister? Ask yourself: What forces play on that person? What beliefs does he or she have? What criteria is he or she using to evaluate the situation?
3. What are the implications of your self-assessment with respect to what you need to do to develop yourself as a change agent?
