Discussion 1 Assignment and peer response

• In general, do most people have a desire to help improve their community?

As you explore this question, let's first agree what we mean by a community. For this course, we are using a broad definition of community. It can range from a small group - for example, folks who share an apartment - to a city. As you think about your response, please reflect on the readings and the video posts for this week. As you can see from the rubric, connecting the discussion posts to the material associated with this course is very important.
