Letters Critique

Image result for donors











All of the letters are asking for donation in different ways. They are giving reports through story telling. I found the International Rescue Committee storytelling to be most effective because of the way it was presented

IRC Help Us Save Refugee letter is very different from the other two because of the manner in which it was presented. The letter is informing the donor of the crisis at hand and also making the donor aware of what they are doing and how the donor could also be a huge help within the situation. The letter was written as if there is a conversation going on. It also sound like a television commercial. Although the need of help is specified, the amount isn't as compared to the other three letters. 

The organizations used stories and data to persuade the readers into donating and assuring they in a fashionable way that their money is being used for a good cause.

    After reading the four letters, I found the international rescue committee storytelling to be most effective because of the way it was presented.

My reflection is based on Karisa Tashjian, from the Providence Public Library. Karisa's presentation spoke out the most from my point of view. The way in which she presented her materials and educated the class not just what we know about libraries, but what goes on in the organizational structure that most of the class did not know about. I like how she made a connection to the fish after talking about partnering with other organizations. She mentioned that, partnering with others help bring in bigger ideas especially when everyone is leading in the same direction. The activity with the fish when everyone has to write down the names of fish they know helped me in understanding what she meant by working alone only lead to walking in circle whereas working with others. When there is a team opportunity and everyone is on the same page and has the same goal, there will be one focus and a better result. In connection to one of our course text, this reminds me about the import...

Black Lives Matter

Black Lives Matter is a sensitive topic to me personally because each person embraces it differently. I feel when explaining Black Lives Matter (BLM) to anyone, the individual should be conscious about what is being said and how it is explained. If I am to explain what is BLM to a young person, I will explain depending on what the individual wants to hear baring in mind that I do not know how this person will embrace my information. I would simple say that it is an activist movement, rally, and an organization that is seeking racial  justice. It is a movement that started after the murder of an African-American teen Trayvon Martin. The protests speak out against police killings of black people, racial profiling, police brutality, and racial inequality in the United States criminal justice system. I would leave it as simple as that if I am not asked to go into details of this movement. source:  Black Lives Matter Questions: When is it appropriate to discuss BLM? What are ...
