In the article, “How to create a culture manifesto for your organization” the author speaks to the audience and provides knowledge on how to grow an organization and simple methods that can allow its mission to be effectively spread. She speaks to those with their own company or who have an idea that they wish to produce on a grand scale and catch the attention of others. She tries to persuade them into using some of the valued manifesto methods to share ideas and influence in an effective and friendly manner. In order to show the audience how beneficial this practice would be to each company she models some highly successful business that have used the technique and have reached the utmost success. She calls on companies such as etsy, warby parker and b corps which created a manifesto and were able to not only draw in numerous consumers but create a safe and compassionate environment for each employee. The author is very effective in showing the audience that any idea can be mass produced as long as it has the right environment and it’s marketed the correct way. By using this technique any company will be able to expand its ideas and establish a positive work culture.
For my unit 2 assignment I did my research on the discrimination faced by school kids and workers in each environment and how bias and stereotypes can keep them from establishing successful lives. I presented some ideas on how to make environments more exclusive places and how many lives are truly disproportionally affected by discrimination. So many young kids are put through terrible education systems and are exempt from gifted programs because their teachers fail to see their potential and never push them forward. It is important to me that opportunities are created for minority students and that teachers are held accountable for racially profiling their students. So many schools and workplaces fail to set each individual apart and fail to see them for what they can bring to each environment. In my project I hope to spread awareness on the discrimination faced by each student and make it that no child is ever kept from receiving a proper education. I think that when trying to engage with the readers they would mostly connect to first hand accounts of kids dropping out of school due to discrimination or racially charged events. This type of request or statement would most likely be distributed on the pages or sites of companies and organizations that strive to make change for each minority. In order to truly attain the respect and sincerity of the readers it would have to be a well calculated and authoritative speech that would effectively attain the readers sympathy but also convey the message.

I agree that the author of “How to create a culture manifesto for your organization” is very effective in informing the audience and making what she is saying actionable. For your response to the second question, I completely agree that as a society, we need to create more opportunities for minority students. First hand accounts of children dropping out of school because of discrimination included in your project could be a very eye opening way to inform your audience.
First-hand accounts could be really powerful. Think about how you might be able to pull together these kinds of insights and best reach an audience. Are you thinking text or speech (a video is certainly an option!)? Who would you want to have in your audience?
I plan on looking for firsthand accounts as well. They are hard to find though, which feels disheartening and is unfortunate because I know how powerful one of these firsthand experiences can be. What I suggest to you, and what I’m doing as well, is look for an article written by someone who is racially/ethnically diverse. This might bring in firsthand experience and tie it into the role of a teacher.
Consider where and how people are likely to share their first-hand accounts–on platforms that are readily available to them and where they already are, like social media. Consider looking on Facebook (since that best accommodates long-form posts)–Facebook groups can be an especially rich trove of story-telling. Blogs are another good place to find this material, since they can be easily self-published.
I think that first hand accounts of what you have stated will be powerful and moving, and create a layer of depth to your writing. Especially with what’s been happening over centuries that has finally came to a head, your piece will be amazing. Ive found luck on TedTalk and other outlets, so I would suggest using those if you are having trouble.
