LEARN: The problem seems simple and the solution seems extremely complicated. The problem lies in the fact that there are too many criminals and not enough police officers. Due to budget cuts and other issues, staff has been cut in the local police force and there are people and issues slipping under the radar because of the lack of numbers on the force.
ACT: My solution, as shown in my animation, actually does require super heros. The good news is that these super heros are very different from Super Jameson. They do not have electric shocking bats or absurdly big muscles. They are the everyday people that live next door to you and I. They are good men and women who volunteer their time and assistance to be peacemakers to smaller, less dangerous issues that occur in our city. This will free up the trained and armed police force for the more dangerous and urgent issues that would take a highly trained individual.
IMAGINE: I believe that in the future we could utilize the use of volunteer, just as the local fire department has. Volunteer fire fighters are paged when their assistance is needed and they respond because they want to volunteer their community service. Volunteer police officers could make a huge difference because if one less officer is tied up in an issue that a volunteer could handle, that may be the one officer that is available to prevent a crime from happening that could save lives.

LEARN: After doing some research I have discovered that the beginning of our recession began with the plunge that the real estate market and the employment was a casualty of the real estate market crash. When people could not afford their homes it forced then into foreclosure and everyone fell further and further behind on their payments and bills. This also caused people to be out of work because with so many people in debt, there was no spending and the economy crashed. This is where my action takes place.

ACT: My approach is that the general public needs to put money back into the economy. People saving instead of spending hurts the economy but they are afraid to put money into the economy with the fear or being laid off or losing their job. If everyone collectively spends “X” amount of dollars into local small businesses then that would be beneficial for the economy and small businesses could grow and would be able to hire more employees. Small business growth would attract big business to want to come into the community, which creates even more job opportunity. City council should notify all residents on Modesto that the second weekend of every month is going to be the time to shop at discounted prices, dine for less, and enjoy entertainment that Modesto offers for a cheaper price. It is not mandatory that everyone participates but city council is purposing to everyone of Modesto that if we collectively do out part in trying to boost the economy and if business owners partake in discounting their products then we can get our local economy headed in the right direction.                                

IMAGINE: With this new proposition in place I believe that we could start to increase spending and get the money flowing back through Modesto’s economy. With the creation of more jobs I believe that the unemployment rate would decrease and the people who are so financially tight and could not afford to take advantage of the citywide discount weekends, they now will be able to with a job. Unemployment decrease, money flow increase, improvement in economy, and overall better employment situation for Modesto.
