Identify your own definition of civic engagement. 

We can define Civic engagement as working in order to make a difference in the civic life of one’s community. It includes developing a combination of skills, knowledge, motivation, and values to make a difference. 

Identify a major social issue in your community. Start by thinking of the social issue and its significance. Does this issue also affect members of your community?

The major issue faced by the community is gender discrimination. Gender equality avoids violence against women and girls. It is important for the prosperity of the economy. The societies which value men and women as equal are healthier and safer. The human right is also referred to as Gender equality. 

Significance:

Through Gender equality, we can save lives. Due to a lack of empowerment and resource in different areas, girls and women are exposed to life-threatening risks. It is the outcome of better healthcare. According to Research, women possess other medical care as compared to men. We can observe different issues for the issue in the community, entailing short of education plus decreased income. In the Research of the Medical community, Sexism will always end to worse scenarios. Gender Equality helps businesses. The women receive similar education plus opportunities for job as men, and they can develop the corporation they can join. The research defines the diversity of every type increases firm innovation and productivity. The impact of women does not stop individual firms and firms. Research depicts increasing the participation of women in the country is best for the country. In OECD states, if the rate of employment for women increased in order to inline with Sweden, this will guide to a GDP rise, which is equal to $6 trillion gaps in pay lead to costing the economy.

Yes, I was surprised by the numbers as the social issue of poverty is increasing, and many people are affected due to poverty. The number of people that were affected by the same issue was high, and during the current pandemic situation, the rate of poverty has increased, and a lot of people have been affected by the social issue. 

3. Did you face any challenges while going out into your community and asking people if they were affected by the social issue?

Yes, I faced a lot of challenges while going to the community because most of the people will not open to share their problems and share their experiences and how they were affected by the social issue. Two major issues and challenge was that most of the people were not available during my visit because they were at their jobs or somewhere else.

The most surprising feedback from the community members was that they were unhappy that we were asking about their problems, and they can share their problems and discuss them.

If I would have the chance to do my assignment again, I would change the social issue and will study different social issues so that I can get to know more problems and issues in society and the community.

6. Do you feel as though you were successful in your presentation? Do you feel as though members of your surrounding community and the outlying community will be affected by your blog post?

The closing comment about this assignment is that we as a community should help the poor people who are in a difficult time and due to the current situation of the pandemic, people are suffering more and more, and the community is being affected due to poverty so that we as a nation as a community should help them and reduce the rate of poverty.
