Now that you have learned the importance, the challenges, and opportunities of building
respectful and inclusive communities, you will start by researching communities that
have been successful in building respectful and inclusive communities.
You will study them, learn what they have done to be successful, and create your own
vision of how you would build a respectful and inclusive community in your town, your
workplace, your school, or any community that is important to you. Think about this – if
you could create any respectful and inclusive community that you wanted, what would it
be? What would it look like? Who would you be helping/including? How does the
research you have done help you to imagine it/create it?
For example, if you wanted to build a respectful and inclusive community in your sports
team, or if you wanted to start a business that is known for being a respectful and
inclusive community, or if you going to be a teacher and want to build a respectful
community in your classroom, based on the research you have conducted, and what
you learned in class, how might you do it? Who are you including? How is your project
going to do this?
The paper will have the following sections:
1. Introduction (What is this paper about? Why is your community important?
2. Research (What have you discovered in your research that will help you build
your community?)
3. Application (How are you going to take what you have learned from the research
and create your own respectful and inclusive community?)
