Reflection on Your Information Project
Informing Social Change
Citizenship is the process of how the self is “responsibly connected to the environment and the community”
More than a simple membership, it is an active “engagement of the individual and the leadership group in an effort to serve the community”
It implies social and civic responsibility.
It is the “value of caring about others”

Information as Service
Information is costly; it takes time, money, access and education to obtain
Worldwide internet penetration is still only at roughly 28.7% in comparison to 77.4% in North America
Providing accurate and truthful information to others is a service that can not only frame
an issue, but also change the world
