CPPL100 Living Democracy Reflection
As the first discussion post for CPPL100, I believe this assignment has had the greatest impact on me, as well as I feel I did a sufficient job on this reflection. I chose to display this assignment because it accurately reflects on the current state of our democracy, and how we must strive to attain an ideal living democracy. The reading involved in this assignment is very informational and I believe everyone should read it at one point or another. In addition, I was able to learn about different aspects of an ideal democracy and voice my opinion on certain issues. Not only was I able to write several paragraphs with my personal reflection, I was able to read and analyze my classmates' reflections as well. This allowed me to expand my knowledge and take into account different viewpoints and opinions. Lastly, I was able to was able to work on my reading/reflection skills which is something I strive to become better at. Overall, this assignment was one in which I found the most personal growth as well as increased my skills in several areas.
CPPL100 Reflected Best Self Leadership Development Plan
I chose to display this Development Plan because I believe it has had a great impact on myself as an individual in addition to myself as a leader. Because this assignment involved analyzing others' accounts of me, I was able to effectively create a plan that truly allows me to become the best person possible. There were four questions required to complete this development plan, and each one adequately built on the one prior. This allowed me to create a step-by-step guide for this exercise. I discuss my personal goals and the processes leading towards achieving them, how I will continue to develop into my best self, and my plan for building resources that allow me to do do just that. I truly believe that any reader will experience joy and satisfaction by reading this. Enjoy!
PLCY201 Policing in America
This assignment was the second paper (out of three) that I was required to write for PLCY201. I chose to present this assignment because of its prevalence in today's day and age. By being able to analyze and explore our current policing system in America, I was able to learn many new ideas and formulate my opinion into this assignment. This assignment also allowed me to expand my knowledge on the United States' police force as well as the many statistics concerning policing. I really enjoyed writing this paper because I was able to write my opinion and my opinion only. Because of this, I was able to stay engaged and apply my personal opinion to a class assignment. Altogether, I appreciated the looseness of this assignment and the ability to become actively engaged in both this course and society.
