Back to Week at a Glance (h�ps://waldenu.instructure.com/courses/151568/modules/items/598464

Think back to the Week 1 Discussion about majoring in psychology. Why did you choose to major in psychology? What are your goals a�er you graduate? Perhaps you want to help children with intellectual and developmental disabili�es improve their func�oning at home or school. Or perhaps you want to go to graduate school to become qualified to provide therapy to survivors of sexual violence. Understanding your “why,” or your future goals can help focus your efforts now as you progress through the program and iden�fy steps to effect real change in your community. For example, if your goal is to help children with intellectual and developmental disabili�es, you could look for opportuni�es to integrate research about intellectual and developmental disabili�es into classroom discussions and assignments that pertain to child development. You could also volunteer at an organiza�on, like Au�sm Speaks, to advocate on behalf of children with au�sm in your community.

In this Discussion, you will use Kaltura to record a brief video or narrated PowerPoint (PPT) presenta�on on your “why” or future goals. You will address how pursuing a degree in psychology aligns with your “why” and what you can do to bring about posi�ve social change during the program and a�er you graduate. For guidance on pos�ng a video into the Discussion Forum, refer to the Kaltura sec�on of the Classroom Support Center (accessed via the Help bu�on (the i icon) on the le�- hand global naviga�on menu.

DISCUSSION 2: FOLLOW YOUR WHY

Reflect on the Week 1 Discussion when you discussed why you chose to major in psychology. View the video, Walden: Follow Your Why. With the video and the Week 1 Discussion in mind, consider your “why” or what future goals mo�vate you. Consider how pursuing a degree in psychology aligns with your “why.” Review the ar�cle, “Expanding our Understanding of Social Change.” Pay par�cular a�en�on to the defini�on and core features of social change. With your “why” in mind, think about how you could advance social change during the program and a�er you graduate. For guidance on pos�ng a video into the Discussion Forum, please refer to the steps below or the Kaltura sec�on of the Classroom Support Center (accessed via the Help bu�on (the i icon) on the le�-hand global naviga�on menu.

Post a brief 1- to 2-minute video or a narrated PowerPoint presenta�on that addresses the ques�ons below. You may record your video or narrated PowerPoint presenta�on using Kaltura. If you need help developing a PowerPoint presenta�on, see “How to Create and Narrate a PowerPoint Presenta�on” and “PowerPoint Presenta�on Tips and Template.” You may choose to record your narrated PowerPoint presenta�on in Kaltura using the Personal Capture feature, or you can choose to record narra�on using the PowerPoint so�ware or your phone.

What is your “why”? In other words, what future goals mo�vate you? How does pursuing a degree in psychology align with your "why"?
