Here is an example paper I have written for:
Saba Mazhar, located in the state of New York.
Phone: (646) 884*-***
This student has apparently thought my model essays may be used to submit to his professor as his own for an academic grade. He sent a revision request to the company I contract with and demanded that I revise the paper to his professor's exact requirements (he sent a screen shot with professor's comments). The company refused (they are not in the cheating business), so he did a chargeback.
Maybe other honest writers will be warned not to do business with Saba Mazhar.
An ideology is a person`s values, political goals or assumptions. It can be a combination of all three. The ideologies of three community organizers will be the subject of this paper; Mark Warren, Richard Wood, and Peter Dreier. All three men have the same goal which is to advocate for social and racial justice through community organizing. However, each man takes a different approach. The differences among the three men`s ideologies are examined in terms of each person`s views on how best to bring about social justice and progressive change.
Mark Warren
Mark Warren works as an associate professor at the University of Massachusetts Boston. He strives to build alliances across racial differences and social class. Mark believes in racial justice and works with white people to build a multiracial America, not simply a post racial one (Warren, 2001). Justice and equality should be at the core of an America that is equitable and caring. Mark Warren thinks that collaboration is essential. People who are looking to work for a cause, like racial justice, should have an open discussion with those they desire to help (Warren, A Match on Dry Grass, 2011). Once again, reaching across racial lines in order to build an equitable and multiracial society is Mark Warren`s ideology regarding community organizing. Taking action makes the difference, not simply thinking about doing something.
Richard Wood
Richard Wood writes about his ideology in Faith in Action, a book about his experience working for the Pacific Institute for Community Organization, and the Center for Third World Organizing. The Center for Third World Organizing is race-based (Wood, 2002). Both of these centers are located in Oakland, California. Wood believes in a faith based approach to community organizing. Religious organizations can work with community activists in order to secure social and racial justice (Wood, 2002). This is similar to the efforts of clergy from all different faiths coming together in order to understand each other`s faith. The movement toward an interfaith society is also a type of justice. It does not elevate one religion over the other. With religious organizations on the front lines waging the war against social injustice, community organizers and religious groups can facilitate great change (Wood, 2002).
Peter Dreier
Peter Dreier believes that grassroots organizing and progressive politics is the key to establishing social and racial justice. Dreier believes that the government will respond to community organizing which develops into a social movement. He points to the labor unions as a success story. Dreier believes that larger organizations are more successful in fighting for racial and social justice than small community organizing networks (Fisher, 2009). Dreier points out that the left has many noble social causes which it is fighting for, but it is in small settings.
Therefore, the finances and 'boots on the ground' are limited. There is no cohesiveness or planning involved. A large, central community organization like ACORN has a federated structure (Fisher, 2009). This structure brings together local, state, and national community organizations in order to address social and racial injustices that people face on a daily basis. ACORN has a national organization which is unlike all the other community organization networks. ACORN has due paying members and the advantage of national leaders than can help local chapters work on pressing issues (Fisher, 2009). Dreier looks forward to a future of community organizing that includes corporate consolidation, globalization, and militarization (Fisher, 2009). Dreier`s ideology has strong roots in the progressive movement.
The Ideology That Makes the Most Sense
Peter Dreier`s ideology regarding community organizing makes the most sense. The reason for this is that it has already proven to be hugely successful. ACORN was very involved in the campaign of a relatively unknown community organizer, then senator of Illinois, Barack Obama. Barack Obama`s historic election in 2008 points to the vast potential that a federated community organizing network can have. Barack Obama`s 2008 campaign was a grassroots movement. People went door to door for the purposes of registering voters, and introducing the ideas of the former community organizer to the public.
In order to affect change on a massive scale, an organization must have ample financial resources to pay for the campaign. Additionally, a federated structure can define the social movement. In other words, there will not be a fragmented progressive agenda for social and racial justice. Rather the progressive groups and their causes can be brought together under one 'roof.' This gives the federated organization the able to prioritize which causes are the most important. Financial and human resources can then be allocated to fight for a specific cause.
It is obvious from the election in 2008 of Barack Obama that community organizers are closely associated with progressive politics. Dreier`s ideology has already been tested. There is no better way to advance a cause than to have one of your members elected President of the United States. Social justice issues like affordable healthcare and equal pay for women were addressed early in President Obama`s first term. These are causes that all three men advocate for, but Peter Dreier`s ideology is tried and true.
Conclusion
Richard Wood`s ideology is based on a faith based approach to community organization (Wood, 2002). This is a noble idea, however, a bit idealistic. It is difficult to build a multiracial society without involving differences in religion. Once religion is thrown into the mix, things tend to become complicated. The focus may end up on religion rather than social and racial justice. Mark Warren`s ideology is reaching across racial and social boundaries in a collaborative fashion in order to elicit change (Warren, Dry Bones Rattling, 2001). His ideology is not as straightforward or organized as Dreier`s. Warren believes that people can come together to fight for a cause. However, people and groups of people have their own ideas on how to best establish change.
Grassroots organizing from a federated structure like ACORN is the most practical way for community organizing networks to make a difference in society. Dreier points out that finances are severely limited to small groups of community organization networks (Fisher, 2009). However, if all of the groups can come together for the cause of racial and social justice, the voices of the poor and oppressed will be heard, and action will be taken to help them.
