Change
Change means "the act or instance of making or becoming different; to transform" (Merriam-Webster). It can come in physical forms - like growing up; or in psychological forms - what we can call "a change of heart". Change is inherent in everything we do, say, and how we live overall.
In the 2008 presidential election, Barack Obama used Change as one of his campaign slogans (Hope and Change - Act Two, 2013). As just one example of change in the political world, he wanted America to experience a leadership change as a way to better the nation.
The concept of change is important because it allows learners to understand different viewpoints. We experience change everyday - whether it be a change to a routine or a change to a different lifestyle. Students experience change as they advance through education year to year, or even on a daily basis when they change classes every period.
By accepting and understanding change, students learn to adapt to and understand different ways of thinking about and understanding life events.
