YOUR ENGAGEMENT HAS CONSEQUENCES.
“An estimated 3 million people may have been affected by the quake and that it would take a day or two for a clear picture of the scope of the destruction to emerge. Thousands of structures – from government and United Nations buildings to the millions of shacks that line the streets of the impoverished nation's capital have been reduced to rubble.”
To what extent does the global community hold a moral responsibility to prevent such massive human destruction? In the context of this tragedy and as part of the course introduction, delivered January 13, 2010, a day after the disaster, students reflected on the idea of civic engagement. Whether in the form of governance, policy or activism the question above provokes inquiry into the well being of all world citizens. Drawing from Qingyun Ma’s, “Dean’s Message: Honoring the Past • Inventing the Future”, published on the university website, students are asked to write a brief statement analyzing and evaluating the potential for civic engagement at USC’s School of Architecture.
