For my article of choosing, I am looking for some sort of current events article. There is so much going on the world right now, so even narrowing down the subject of my article that I am looking for will be difficult. However, I feel that the topic that is the most important at this time, is the protests that have been going on throughout the major cities in our country, and what they stand for. I am looking for material that addresses the state of the peaceful protests and covers the Black Lives Matter movement. Also, I would like to find an article that identifies the difference between the peaceful protests and the looting that has been going on. The looting is discoloring the beauty of the protests, and spreading a message of fear and hate. That is not at the core of what this movement stands for. I would like to find an author or any type of source that is Black and has experienced any type of police brutality or form of discrimination. I want to hear their story, because by telling each of these stories we are educating the masses. I am using Google Search to find content, and it is working quite well. Whenever I search “Black Lives Matter” or “peaceful protests” a ton of articles come up.
Writing and organizational cultures
I think that’s a great idea. I feel that there’s something different about this moment in history, and I’d be curious to find writings and studies that explore that notion. Not sure if anything exists like that yet. The mere fact that senior leadership at my company, as well as my wife’s, are hosting calls and speaking openly about the Black Lives Matter movement is unlike anything that’s ever happened before at our current workplaces, or anywhere else we’ve worked.
It’s still early in this iteration of the movement, but there is a great deal of analysis out there regarding the Black Lives Matter movement, which has been around for about 4 years. If this is an issue you’d like to pursue further, there is definitely material out there.
