I do have an idea of what my ideal job would look like, but I'm not sure how to get there really and never have been. I was starting to get on the path before COVID I think... will have to see what happens.

Casey Lochead made a comment
I find it exciting and am looking forward to seeing how it develops.

Casey Lochead made a comment
I don't think automation could replace me in my current job, but it almost certainly could at all my previous jobs - and I think that would be a good thing! Free the humans up to do the things that only we can do.

Looking forward to it!

I'm sure it will be interesting!

These seem like really great ideas!

I think Internet of Things technologies are likely to have the biggest impact on society and on our daily lives, but gene editing is potentially the biggest safety and ethical issue.
-
Casey Lochead made a comment
I think the internet in general is the most exciting development. We are definitely encountering some small amount of AI in our work with all of the social media algorithms, SEO, etc.

Technology is obviously changing the way we work with the coronavirus lockdown - without all of the new technologies like Zoom we would not be able to work at the moment!

About a month ago, I was due to finish up my internship contract but was anticipating being moved to a permanent role. I was informed that due to COVID-19 there would be no new positions hired for until May at the earliest, and then my entire country went into lockdown one week before my contract finished. I needed to shift to working from home for the last...

Work on flexibility and accepting failure.

To be able to cope with change, and to be able to be proactive about reacting to change in a way that is helpful.

Thank you!

Hi, I'm Casey, I have just finished an internship as a volunteer programme coordinator. Hoping to get a permanent position from this, but coronavirus has put the brakes on our plans...

I would enact a tax on companies that are major polluters.
This could encourage large companies to move towards sustainable alternatives, and the money raised could be put towards environmental initiatives.
Caveats: it could be complex to administer, and could raise prices for goods, especially food, relied upon by people on low incomes.

I think Senator Warren is exactly right!

Casey Lochead made a comment
I chose my own country, New Zealand.
From 1975 onward we have been in the 30% to 40% range typical of other developed countries.
Our highest peaks were 41% in 1987 and 40% in 2011.
There is a big gap between 1988 and 2001 - no data!

Very important!

Providing these services also provides benefit to people other than those initially directly affected - fires spread and can cause major damage to unrelated homes or businesses, cause air pollution, and destroy goods or prevent provision of services.
If these services were provided by private organisations, it would be only to those who have the ability to...
-
Casey Lochead made a comment
I think it makes sense for things like fire and rescue services to be considered merit goods.
They technically COULD be provided by private companies for pay (and it certainly sounds like something that people would do if they could), or by entirely self-contained groups of volunteers.
These services are rivalrous - like the example of the doctor seeing...

I do not have any experience yet!

Casey Lochead made a comment
Yes, I think all of these questions need to be answered positively before making a final decision!
-

More progress on welfare, healthcare, environmental, and feminist goals - which I think could be championed by liberal people of all religions.

Casey Lochead made a comment
Thank you very much for this course!

Casey Lochead made a comment
I think interfaith work would be relevant in most places but especially heavily multicultural / multi-faith towns or cities. But it is a small part of dealing with the many factors that play into extremism.
-
Casey Lochead made a comment
I think this was a great idea! It provided an opportunity for all of the people involved to share experiences of different religions and different places of worship, and talk with each other and ask questions, and learn about the history of the place they found themselves in.
-
Casey Lochead made a comment
I would say openness, acceptance, respect, and doing practical work together would be important success factors.
-
I'm in Dunedin, New Zealand, and I think it really has had an effect - people seem to have withdrawn, and are more afraid of each other.
-
Casey Lochead made a comment
I am interested in learning about this approach to combating extremism because I think everyone who is involved in caring for their community should have an idea of what extremism is and how to prevent it from developing in people.
-
Casey Lochead made a comment
I think the whole theory is very strong - these would definitely be the kinds of factors that I would say are important.
-
Casey Lochead made a comment
Thank you!
-
I think parents, friends, and the government are those largely responsible for addressing extremism - parents can guide their children to live well and provide them with what they need to feel secure, friends can be confidants and helpers in life and provide the social "glue" that is so necessary, and the government largely controls the other socio-economic...

I definitely think the third school is the best due to its acknowledgement of the complexity and the multiple factors involved in radicalisation, and how this can manifest differently in different groups and individuals.
-
Casey Lochead made a comment
I don't think that there is necessarily one answer, but different combinations of all of the factors mentioned so far coming together for different people.
-
Casey Lochead made a comment
Exactly!
-
Casey Lochead made a comment
Yes, I think these ideas would be very accurate!
-

Should be interesting!

I'm sure the motivations are different across different countries and different groups of people; the religious motivations probably come last in a long line of justifications and adverse life experiences, but the nature of these will also differ between countries.
-
Exactly -
Grievances, real or imagined
Lack of trust that other ways of resolving the grievance exist
Lack of hope leading to a disregard for their own safety or future quality of life
A long-term feeling of lack of identity, or recent loss of an identity
Alienation from "normal" society - lots of potential reasons
Lack of social integration -... -
I agree!
-
Casey Lochead made a comment
I think these reasons make a lot of sense.
-
Casey Lochead made a comment
Very interesting!
-
Casey Lochead made a comment
All of this makes sense to me, and isn't really surprising at all...

Hello, I'm Casey and I'm from New Zealand. I have undergraduate degrees in sociology and psychology and I am currently working with new migrants and former refugees as volunteers. I am interested in how radicalisation happens and how we can work to create social conditions to combat all forms of radicalisation.

I haven't really used this process before, but it sounds helpful!

I think this is a very good and detailed example!

Ross seemed nervous at points, so this is probably the big thing to work on.
-
Casey Lochead made a comment
I think that I noticed the same things, and probably her most important points were about breathing at the beginning and making eye contact.

Casey Lochead made a comment
Okay!

Funny!

I never would have thought of avoiding being behind the podium, or looking at your slides - I kind of thought of it as, the audience are HEARING you, and LOOKING at your slides, but I guess not...

These are all important things to think about!

These are all good ideas!

I have definitely heard of mindfulness, but have not tried it myself before.

I'm sure this will be useful!

I agree with their choices about intention and audience, and I think they are different from each other because they are making different types of presentations for different purposes.
-
Casey Lochead made a comment
I definitely recognise the Hero's Journey and Pixar structures from lots of popular fiction, and I think I like these the best. The analysis of Dr King's speech is also very interesting; I have heard the speech before but never really thought about the way it was structured.

Casey Lochead made a comment
I always think of this...
We are the storytelling ape, and we are incredibly good at it.
As soon as we are old enough to want to understand what is happening around us, we begin to live in a world of stories. We think in narrative. We do it so automatically that we don’t think we do it. And we have told ourselves stories vast enough to live in.
In the sky... -

I really have no idea! I will think about it.

Hi, I'm Casey, I'm from New Zealand, and I am in my first "proper" job, an internship as a volunteer programme coordinator for former refugees and new migrants. I am taking this course as part of the overarching program and hoping that it will help my future career prospects.

Ali can work on any internal problems that contribute to issues speaking up, but a lot of the problem is apparently cultural and needs to be addressed within the organisation as a whole. Ali could try to share resources about good communication practices with her co-workers.
-
These all sound very useful, and I will try to implement them!
-
Casey Lochead made a comment
I do agree, and I think that I could do all of those things!

Good ideas; I agree.

I know that I need to work hard on presentation, face-to-face (at least in a group setting), and Slack (because I don't even really know what that is!)

Presenting: 1
Video chat: 3
Slack: 1
Email: 5
Face-to-face: 2

Practicing using these skills wherever she can, in her work and personal life. Maybe her manager can give her more opportunities to speak in front of people.
-
Casey Lochead made a comment
I agree with the approaches given, and I understand these kinds of scenarios a little better now.
-
Casey Lochead made a comment
I agree with the suggestions.
-
Casey Lochead made a comment
I would mix being formal and being personable. I think the clients / students would benefit from a less formal and more straightfoward approach than the managers. I would want the clients / students to feel interested, excited, and informed.
-
Casey Lochead made a comment
Lots of useful tips!
-
Casey Lochead made a comment
I haven't tried the "social communication" avenues before, but I probably will in this job or the next one - I'm sure it will be interesting! I feel less comfortable with using the phone than the other methods.
-
Casey Lochead made a comment
It is interesting to see all of the different personality tests and traits, although I have not participated myself.
-
Casey Lochead made a comment
I think being yourself is very important, but you also need to learn the culture of the place where you are working and act accordingly while at work.
-
Casey Lochead made a comment
I definitely react too much - I need to learn to respond instead!
