The list could go on and on. (Consider movies such as “Erin Brockovich,”
“Legally Blonde 2,” “Patch Adams,” or others where someone felt
strongly about a social cause, or saw a need, mobilized support, and
worked to effect change. What cause might you take on?)
Describe the process you would go through to mobilize others to
collectively enact changes. Some of the questions to be answered
might be:
What are your goals? What would you like to achieve?
What role do you see yourself taking in this cause?
How will you mobilize others to help you?
Where will you obtain funding for your cause?
What coalitions, local and state, would you contact who might support
you in your cause?
