The scholar of change video is chose is week’s 2 scholar of change video 2 titled “Battling Addiction in the Heartland” by Jackie Kundert. Jackie introduced herself as a mother as well as a nurse in Monroe, Wisconsin. She went further by saying that Monroe, Wisconsin is part of Green county and that Monroe's population is approximately rough l10,000 people which therefore makes it the largest city in Green county. According to Kundert (2012), the issue of drug overdose in Monroe, Wisconsin became a major problem and popular across the nation during the past five to seven years. Kundert (2012) asserted that what used to be a big problem in big cities was felt in cities that were small and that the issue of drug overdoses, drug problem, drug abuse touches are tremendously especially that it hit home to her with her son being hooked up in the cycle of drug overdose. According to Kundert (2012), her son ended taking prescription pain medication, and as a result became very addicted to and which led him to start taking heroin.
Because Kundert wanted to be agent of social change after looking at a Wisconsin State Council of Alcohol and Drug Abuse map that showed the rate at which heroin was taken in Wisconsin, she therefore said to herself that she had to make a positive impact on this community.
Kundert was not the only one explaining the ordeal that her son had to deal with. Also, in the video, was a woman who explained how her son started with dope and then to cocaine and that cocaine led to her son’s death.
Because of the negative impact drug overdose, heroin and cocaine had in Monroe, Wisconsin, Kundert was prompted on in June 2015 to start an organization called F.A.I.T.H. According to Kundert (2012), F.A.I.T.H stands for fighting addiction it takes help.
As I begin to code, I took into consideration the definition Dr. Susan Marcus gave us. According to Dr. Marcus, coding is sort of a short phrase that symbolically assigns a summative, summary, salient or essence-capturing attribute for some portion of language or visual data.
The first code I chose to apply to this video is Social Responsibility. In a direct quote from the video Jackie states, “When I saw those rates it spurred something in me that made me know that I had to somehow try and make a positive impact on this community.” (Kundert, 2012). I also chose this code because in my field notes I noted that drug addiction is an equal opportunity illness. It does not care who you are, how old you are, what your background is or where you live. Jackie lives in Monroe, Wisconsin and what she once thought was a big city problem made its way to her city, into her home. She is personally impacted and feels like she must do something about the problem not just for herself but for her community at large. Her second quote, “If someone could be inspired in every community across the nation to create change, together all of our small changes would make one huge change” (Kundert, 2012) also speaks to her accountability to be a catalyst for change.
The second code I chose to apply was Empowered. In a direct quote from the video, Jackie states “It has given me a base to gather data and empowered me to begin the process of getting valuable education to the entire community” (Kundert, 2012). I noted that same sense of empowerment in my field notes, but my attitudes, beliefs, and values did not impact this selection of code, the participant chose it herself (Saldana, 2016). Jackie describes her time at Walden as giving her confidence and empowering her to begin contributing to her community. In using this quote, as the researcher I did not have to interpret her meaning. Jackie’s own words explained her lived experience requiring no further analysis of the data (Ravitch & Carl, 2016).

The scholar of change video, I chose was in week 1 titled "Inspiring Children with Special Needs. Benjamin Isaac is a Walden University student pursuing a doctorate degree in the field of special education. He then explains that research shows that students with special learning needs who feel good about themselves perform better academically than those with low self-concept. I thought it was so interesting, how he created cartoon characters Skeeter, Buzz and Gigi. He used these characters to inspire children with special needs that they can accomplish anything through the activities seen through the cartoon characters. I found, this particular video inspirational and has motivated me to look at how I do my research differently. His qualitative studies focused on the phenomenon “show was not to elicit sympathy from the masses, but to show children with special needs in a very normal light.”Furthermore, collecting and coding anonymously without ever knowing the participants’ names, and using numerical or alphabetical coding systems to link data to participants’ names, then destroying the system at the end of the investigation.

The video I chose was the first-week video by Mr. Isaac. Mr. Isaac was a Walden University student working on his dissertation. The author created a video explaining his dissertation topic on changing how people look at special needs children. Thus, the author created cartoon characters with special needs. Consequently, the author used special needs children that he knew as the characters' voices but did not highlight their special needs.
Code description: children with special needs Code: AA1
Code definition: Study the children at home inside and outside of the home, interacting naturally with other children.
I identified the kids with disabilities and their challenges as the most considerable influence in my notes. The author had children with special needs, and that connected him to the research. Thus, the author wanted social change for the kids with disabilities through awareness of the cartoon characters' representation. The similarity of the kids having special needs characterizes them to one another (Saldana, 2016). The author did not use their special needs as a hindrance but portrayed them in normal light. Accordingly, the author did not change my opinion of the topic, but it has a strong potential to influence his target audience. The author created a theme in the presentation on similarities; however, the focus was on the individual's experiences (Ravitch & Carl, 2016). Also, I would have had some literature review on the effects of having special needs as a child. The author had the children in the video to highlight their physical similarity. Consequently, the author would benefit from highlighting the possible mental challenges amongst their peers.

The article I chose for this assignment was by Christin Topper, Brining the Natural World to Hong Kong. Topper has discovered that there is a disconnect between children in Hong Kong and the natural world. This disconnect, coined as nature deficit disorder, is due to the nature of the city with its skyscrapers and dense buildings taking up the areas previously used for parks or open areas. This topic struck a chord with me as I have always enjoyed my time in the outdoors, camping, fishing, and hiking, and children not having this experience, to me, is troubling. We all need to have the opportunity to experience nature in all its glory.
I coded three areas of interest to me with two codes each, Rubin & Rubin express that in the beginning, it is better to have multiple codes to prevent possibly losing information (p. 200) (2012). The description of the situation as explained by Ms. Topper I coded as isolated and disconnected. I felt these codes described the situation the children of Hong Kong were experiencing. The portion of the video describing their rooftop gardening and its progression I coded as expanded consciousness and involvement. The final codes I used were back to nature and reconnecting to describe the last part of the video talking about the initiative continuing and expanding.
The codes I used are due to a belief that we are all part of the same planet and if we separate ourselves as a community from other portions of our environment, those portions become unimportant. The people of Hong Kong are in danger of separating themselves from their environment and possibly not considering these forgotten portions when making decisions. When we forget to consider all possibilities we can make bad decisions that may not affect us now but that can negatively affect us in the future.

titled
“Battling
Addiction
in
the
Heartland”
by
Jackie
Kundert.
Jackie
introduced
herself
as
a
mother
as
well
as
a
nurse
in
Monroe,
Wisconsin.
She
went
further
by
saying
that
Monroe
,
Wisconsin
is
part
of
Green
county
and
that
Monroe's
population
is
approximately
rough
l10,000
people
which
therefore
makes
it
the
largest
city
in
Green
county.
According
to
Kundert
(2012),
the
issue
of
drug
overdose
in
Monroe,
Wisconsin
became
a
major
pr
oblem
and
popular
across
the
nation
during
the
past
five
to
seven
years.
Kundert
(2012)
asserted
that
what
used
to
be
a
big
problem
in
big
cities
was
felt
in
cities
that
were
small
and
that
the
issue
of
drug
overdoses,
drug
problem,
drug
abuse
touches
are
tremendously
especially
that
it
hit
home
to
her
with
her
son
being
hooked
up
in
the
cycle
of
drug
overdose.
According
to
Kundert
(2012),
her
son
ended
taking
prescription
pain
medication,
and
as
a
result
became
very
addicted
to
and
which
led
him
to
start
t
aking
heroin
.
Because
Kundert
wanted
to
be
agent
of
social
change
after
looking
at
a
Wisconsin
State
Council
of
Alcohol
and
Drug
Abuse
map
that
showed
the
rate
at
which
heroin
was
taken
in
Wisconsin,
she
therefore
said
to
herself
that
she
had
to
make
a
pos
itive
impact
on
this
community
.
Kundert
was
not
the
only
one
explaining
the
ordeal
that
her
son
had
to
deal
with.
Also,
in
the
video,
was
a
woman
who
explained
how
her
son
started
with
dope
and
then
to
cocaine
and
that
cocaine
led
to
her
son’s
death
.
Becau
se
of
the
negative
impact
drug
overdose,
heroin
and
cocaine
had
in
Monroe,
Wisconsin,
Kundert
was
prompted
on
in
June
2015
to
start
an
organization
called
F.A.I.T.H.
According
to
Kundert
(2012),
F.A.I.T.H
stands
for
fighting
addiction
it
takes
help
.
As
I
b
egin
to
code,
I
took
into
consideration
the
definition
Dr.
Susan
Marcus
gave
us.
According
to
Dr.
Marcus,
coding
is
sort
of
a
short
phrase
that
symbolically
assigns
a
summative,
summary,
salient
or
essence
–
capturing
attribute
for
some
portion
of
language
o
r
visual
data
.
The
first
code
I
chose
to
apply
to
this
video
is
Social
Responsibility.
In
a
direct
quote
from
the
video
Jackie
states,
“When
I
saw
those
rates
it
spurred
something
in
me
that
made
me
know
that
I
had
to
somehow
try
and
make
a
positive
impac
t
on
this
community.”
(Kundert,
2012).
I
also
chose
this
code
because
in
my
field
notes
I
noted
that
drug
addiction
is
an
equal
opportunity
illness.
It
does
not
care
who
you
are,
how
old
you
are,
what
your
background
is
or
where
you
live.
Jackie
lives
in
M
onroe,
Wisconsin
and
what
she
once
thought
was
a
big
city
problem
made
its
way
to
her
city,
into
her
home.
She
is
personally
impacted
and
feels
like
she
must
do
something
about
the
problem
not
just
for
herself
but
for
her
community
at
large.
Her
second
quo
te,
“If
someone
could
be
inspired
in
every
community
across
the
nation
to
create
change,
together
all
of
our
small
changes
would
make
one
huge
change”
(Kundert,
2012)
also
speaks
to
her
accountability
to
be
a
catalyst
for
change
.
The
second
code
I
chose
to
apply
was
Empowered.
In
a
direct
quote
from
the
video,
Jackie
states
“It
has
given
me
a
base
to
gather
data
and
empowered
me
to
begin
the
process
of
getting
valuable
education
to
the
entire
community”
(Kundert,
2012).
I
noted
that
same
sense
of
empowermen
t
in
my
field
notes,
but
my
attitudes,
beliefs,
and
values
did
not
impact
this
selection
of
code,
the
participant
chose
it
herself
(Saldana,
2016).
Jackie
describes
her
time
at
Walden
as
giving
her
confidence
and
empowering
her
to
begin
contributing
to
her
community.
In
using
this
quote,
as
the
researcher
I
did
not
have
to
interpret
her
meaning.
Jackie’s
own
words
explained
her
lived
experience
requiring
no
further
analysis
of
the
data
(Ravitch
&
Carl,
2016)
