Please describe what correlations or linkages you see between the data discussed in both videos and how these views of human interaction can influence how we, our cohort of social workers, conceive and design our practice/interventions/ research/therapy (select a targeted area to discuss). NOTE: The correlations will come from watching the videos and application to your future in social work can be projected based on your specific professional interest rather than that of your design team.

Q2. Last week the discussion question asked you to identify your target audience(s) and describe their personas. Let’s build on that and get creative! Combine what you read in Leroux Miller (Chapters 8-12) about connecting your cause to supporters with the “6 Shortcuts” detailed in the Science of Persuasion video.(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFdCzN7RYbw) Use this foundational knowledge to design one flyer or sign, targeted specifically at one persona of supporters persuading them to say “YES!” to getting involved with an aspect of your Design Team Agency. Get as creative as you want, but persuade me to join your forces!!!
