Write:

In preparation for this week's Critical Thinking assignment, introduce a concept related to your workplace or another community you belong to that might also end up being a key concept in your research project.

For example, if you were writing a Portfolio Project on commercial zoning of farmland in your local community, you could examine either the concept of "sprawl" or "social capital."

No in-depth analysis is required. Just explain why you chose the concept. How might you note who it affects and why it is a central concept in your workplace or community?
