Danielle's+Reflection

While working on this project I have learned that democracy is about being active in issues that you are passionate about and trying to change what you believe in, even if it means to put as much effort possible. In order to get people on your side of the issue you have to be persuasive. I learned that if you really want something, you have to speak up, make our opinions heard and see what other people take from it, whether it be positive or negative. I have learned about myself that I can make a difference by getting involved in issues that I feel are important and that I am passionate about, and to make my voice be heard even if some people may not like what I have to say. I also learned how to work better with a large group and asked a lot of questions when needed, mostly about how to post things on the Wikispace, because I am technically challenged. During this project, I learned how important it really is to stay connected and work together with my group members and to make sure everyone is on the same page with the issue. Our group responded well together and listened to one anothers ideas and views on the issue. In the end, I think our group worked well together getting this project started and I hope the next group picks up this issue and takes it as well as our group did.
