Self-Evaluation
Working in a group to promote awareness on an issue wasn't my ideal final project for this class. I honestly never thought that working in a group was ever as pleasant. I have always been worried of having other people's grades on my hands. This group project was no different. My studying habits are a bit last minute, I am what you call a procrastinator, hence, I'm writing this blog 1 hour before it is due. For this I apologize, I know 1 teammate in particular was stressing over this, but she knows me well enough. I can say I was a bit disappointed with how the participation was distributed. Child Sex Tourism was the topic we chose to bring awareness on. Putting the spotlight on the horrors of CST made me think of so many things. How could anybody ever strip a child of their innocence in such a crude manner? I realized that this is one of the proposed issues that is very overshadowed. I myself though, am completely involved in the subject, and through my research I have learned much. Overall I am glad that this was assigned even though it took me about a week to figure out how to set up that website! :-/ I greatly appreciate Natasha assigning this to us. I feel that I am now committed to this cause and I'm thankful for giving us the chance to spark the curiosity of other students in our class. Another thing that I would like to clarify is that the entire situation that we presented in class was ironic and by no means reflected our views. We are appalled by the entire CST and don't want to promote it. We were inspired by "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift. which if you haven't read, I recommend you do so. Well everyone, I had a wonderful semester and hope to see you all soon!
