Action Project Description:
My goal was to give back to Durango and her citizens during this pandemic. by going to stores and setting out tables for people to collect masks if they don't have one, they are able to help the community flatten the curve of the spread of COVID-19. This is a concept called nudge where those who are given the masks help to influence and expand ideas like social distancing and proper protection from the virus.
What is Nudge? Nudge is a concept in behavioral sciences and political theory that allows for people to create big impacts in a small way through indirect suggestion. So how does Nudge theory apply to My Action project? Our goal was to make sure that people wore masks and took precautions while they were out shopping or in public. To accomplish this, my partner and I set out a table with masks at Nature's Oasis, a popular location for shoppers to go without masks. The idea was to use Nudge Theory to subtly teach people to follow quarantine procedures without directly ordering people to wear masks and gloves. By handing out masks, it would be far more likely that those who could not, or did not want to follow quarantine rules would think twice about how they can protect themselves and others.
We followed the concept to the day we handed out masks with fliers to give people more information on how to protect themselves and others during the outbreak. In our two and a half hour time we allowed ourselves we handed out around twelve masks for people to use, many going to those with health risks and families who did not have them. We considered this to be an effective example of nudge because of how many people wear the masks we gave them at natures.
