World Studies Overall

Reflection Questions

Attempt to answer our Guiding Question: Why is learning someone else's story important? If you don't know someone else's story, you could just be like, meh, it's not me, so I don't care. but when you actually take the time to listen, you know that everyone has something hard going on in their life, and you could learn how to help.

1. What do you know now that you didn't before World Studies this semester? I know a lot more about the difference in religions, and how many different beliefs there actually are.

2. How would you describe your work habits? (do you participate? complete tasks? do your best?) I think I did a fairly good job with all my work habits, though at times I goofed off, I still managed to get everything done in time.

3. How would you describe your character? Did you demonstrate integrity, responsibility, respect, compassion, discipline and courage? I think I did mostly well showing these traits, with the exception of possibly Respect and Compassion. Me and my table were a bit loud, and might have disrupted other people in the room. But I'm proud of myself, because when it got a bit too out-of-hand, I showed responsibility and just stopped being a part of it and focused on my work instead.

4. What topics are you curious to learn more about? More in-depth about the causes of migration, traditions, and how food can be affected by your region and religion.

5. What else do you want your family to know about how you did in World Studies this semester? I think I really leaned into the quality of my work and art during world studies, and took responsibility to take anything I needed to finish home to work on.
