When it comes to world history and current event advocacy, these two topics are directly related to each other. One of the most important connections between these two topics is that current event advocacy is exercised under the basis of a particular time in world history. For example, the Black Lives Matter movement is an epitome of this connection because, without slavery and oppression of the black community, this movement would never exist. Another example is that of the advocacy of equality and how certain events in history unjustly structured societies around the world and have engendered this issue of inequality. As you can see, current event advocacy addresses an issue that was brought about in a particular period in history. The Rock Your World Curriculum was a very insightful program that gave me a better understanding of the importance of media advocacy when it comes to addressing global issues. The most impactful idea I gained from this was that you can be as creative as you want as long as you have a strong mission statement with clear, thought-provoking ideas that are clearly manifested in your project. This is the most important thing I learned because it helped me to open up to the different genres of media and helped me to realize the various opportunities my group and I can do for our project. It also helped me to stress on developing concrete ideas and statements that will inspire and galvanize our audience. Overall, the Rock Your World Curriculum opened my eyes to the variety of genres for our project and taught me the important elements when it comes to media advocacy. References
