Improve the quality of environment through social change

The social change model in my mind is not simple, easy, or fast. It shows couples of leaders perspectives, and make a long positive change for the society.

 

The first picture shows cutting down trees. When I was student in China, from middle school to High school, my science teacher always told his students cutting down trees is dangerous. He said our nature would revenge us for over cutting trees, such as no enough oxygen, soil erosion, and so on. I was so worried at that time, and hoped some leaders could come out. Actually, in some years, our environment turned worse that truly caused many leaders to think about the reasons, and tried to make social changes. Here is one way to improve the quality of our environment.

Planting trees. It seems ironic, but it is really the fastest way to make a change. Not only one leader appeals to planting trees. They also organize our students to plant trees as doing an activity in some specific days like the Arbor Day. I realize that the better our human being treats the environment where we live, the more positive impacts will happen to the social change. Also, leadership never means individual. It involves collaborative relationship that lead to collective action grounded in the shared values of people who work together to effect positive change. (Heri, 1996, P.16) However, leaders don’t mean famous people either, everybody can lead to a small social change, and then consist of a social change model. Don’t hesitate to show your power from doing any specific and small things, just like planning a tree.
