Write a response that draws on what you have read. Be specific when you talk about the articles. Write the names.  You can bring in any other recent examples that relate to Shirky’s points about group formation and what groups can achieve in this age of easy connection via social media and the internet. 
-Include an image that relates to the topic.
- Remember images you use should be CC-licensed, or otherwise licensed for your use, and properly credited. You may also use screenshots you create from social media.

Answer these questions in your response:
  1. Toward the end of his chapter, Shirky poses two questions: “Why has group action largely been limited to formal organizations? What is happening now to change that?” What is new about the type of collective action he describes, and the way the groups are formed? 
  2. Apply Shirky's ideas about group formation to a current activist group or movement that you've been following (or are involved with). Make sure to analyze how the group came about, what happened along the way and what goals were achieved by comparing them to another reading or video of the week.

This assignment allows students to develop exam study guides, while also helping classmates. Students have been divided into groups (approximately 4 people in each group). To work with your group, and post the two required postings, go to the Blackboard course website and choose “My Groups” from the left side menu. Click on the group, then, under “Group Tools” click “Group Discussion Board”.

Do not post an answer; just a question. To post, click on the Student Study Guide assignment in your group disc

  Reflection Students are encouraged to create portfolios and begin to "manage" their careers. When you began a college education you took the first step. You now need to begin to reflect on the next goal, then medium, and long-term goals. I did not complete my final degree until well into my 50's. And that is fine, I loved my health care career. I was eager to care for patients and did not leave direct patient care for many decades. I did know the time would come to do so however, and began to earn the college degrees I would need at the proper time. This is what is meant by managing your career. This is an entry level program. It is designed to assist you in getting your "foot in the door" where you can learn valuable clinical skills. A common and important degree is the Bachelor of Health Information Management (BS-HIM).
