In a paper, discuss the community development process of a current issue in your local area. Your paper should outline the issue, explain the community development process, and address conflict resolution for each stage. Your paper will be graded based on your ability to relate any of the readings to your professional practice or to your "real world" experiences outside of work. Use your life experiences, your occupational background, and your skills and values (identified in the Personal and Career Evaluation worksheets) to frame your approach to any idea, theme, or theory noted by the authors.

Before you identify the local issue, visit the CSU-Global Career Center and read the Personal and Career Evaluation section. As you explore local issues for this process paper, think about selecting an issue that aligns with your career interests.
