Reflection Analysis

In When We Fight, We Win by Greg Jobin-Leeds it says that “comparison can block compassion both for others and for ourselves.” I agree with such statement; I think that listening is a skill you learn throughout time. One can pretend to listen without really getting anything out of the conversation that one is having with that other person. In the Compassionate Listening workshop, I got to do it with Rachel Kurland and I sit and listened to her talking about the moment her friend treason her. I tried to understand her plight, why would she not cut that friendship off, I understood she loved her friend, however, I could not resist bringing my biases to our conversation. I asked myself, why is Rachel, such a good, loving, and smart person,

When it comes to this course overall, I believe that is has so prepared me for the future because of the knowledge that I took in about what the justice administration truly is. Also all the information that I learned not only from the reading but also the discussion questions implanted a lot of new information in my head that I had no clue about. That is why this class on Criminal Justice Administration has taught me so much about the justice administration and I would recommend this class to anyone, point blank. Because not only do you learn something new every week in class, but I honestly feel like it is everyday that I learned something new.

Through the duration of this course some of my opinions on civic issues have changed and some have stayed the same. An opinion of mine that has changed is the number of flaws in our education system. This is an important civic issue because the education of young people is deciding the future of this world. This is politically significant because this generation will grow up to be a part of politics whether running for a role in the federal, provincial, or municipal parliamentary or simply voting in an election.

Have you ever asked yourself why is important for college students to know about the government in the state they live in? I believe that it is important for students in college to understand the way their state works because that will give them more knowledge when it comes to voting for the right candidates. For me, knowing what laws and policies are being passed in the state I live in and how those laws can affect me is really important. I am really familiar with everything happening in Texas, but I believe this class is going to help me learn a lot about the government. Most of the college students think that what happens regarding policies and laws does not affect them, but even if they do not affect them right away they might in the

I went into Government class thinking I knew a lot about government. I quickly figured out there was a lot I had to learn. I am very glad I was required to take this class because without taking it, how would I know how everything works or know how I am affected by the government? My beliefs didn’t change nor did the political party I identify myself with but I have a much better understanding about what goes on in our Country. I learned much more than I thought I would learn, from the ways someone can become president, to how a bill becomes a law, to who were considered to be the best presidents.

While taking this course I benefited from learning a variety of things about the American government, as well as refreshing my memory on somethings I already knew. What didn’t work for me was my time management skills. I am used to writing papers may be two days before the due date. This did not work so well for me because the most difficult part of the paper tended to be the last part. On one of my papers I could not finish the last section of the paper because I didn’t give myself enough time. Videos that were played in during were also very helpful in this course. I did enjoy watching the clip about the Veterans. It was very shocking that many benefits that Veterans now have they weren’t automatically given. Fighting for a country is a very

I really enjoyed and learned new things about the Texas government. This class was not a usual class for me, usually I take in-class sessions, so it was little challenging for me the way I learn things. Through this class I understand my weakness and strong side of my learning style and the good and bad of my style. The online session taught me how I can learn by myself, manage the time and get a good grade. Usually I just read over the notes and study the material for the tests, but for this class I have to create my own notes and understand what does it mean. All of the assignments especially the focus free writing, helped me to understand about the Texas government and how does it works. The reading assignments were so interesting, usually

Overall, I learned a great deal in this class. Although I have taken government courses in the past, I don’t feel as though I ever truly learned about the ins and outs of the policy making process. I gained a better understanding of how policy is actually made and how so many different factors influence the process. I also now understand more about a variety of different policy issues that I was uninformed on before, such as immigration and defense, and also learned more about issues that I had a background in, like health and Zika, specifically. I enjoyed hearing from a variety of different people from diverse backgrounds, who all had unique experiences and views from which to inform us.

When we first started the course I had very little knowledge about the United States Government. Now, I feel like I have learned a lot and amd able to hold a conversation with someone about our government and actually understand what they are saying and some of the terminology. My growing knowledge of the United States government has and will continue to impact my personal sense of what it means to be an United States citizen. Since I now understand things better I feel like it is easier for me to be more involved with our government since I am no longer as confused as I was before. After taking the class I have seen the importance of participating in things such as voting and why the government decides to make and enforce certain decisions

A lot has happened over the this course learning everything from music in the 1960s to interrogation techniques of the current. The last ting we learned about our country is how Christians played a role in it. The history of we came to be in America, how we have an influence and the social enigmas with wanting it in politics. The main things we covered in the past eight weeks is how different events have effected or influenced the United States. We begin in the sixties and worked our way through the major events and crises of our country.

I felt this course has become extremely helpful in learning about and understanding United States history and gave me better overviews of all the significant events that shaped the United States into the great country it is today. So many things I have leaned about in this course were quiet magnificent. The most important thing that I noticed about history is that it’s always changing. No matter how much evidence we have of the past, the way we look at the past can be distorted in many different ways.

I have learned many things throughout this course. I knew about most of the topics discussed throughout the class, but I only knew about them to a certain extent. Privilege and oppression were words I knew of but everyone who talked about it had different definitions of the terms. Now, I do know that majority of those peoples definitions were wrong.

What I learned in politics class is several things throughout my time in class. Mainly, I learned that many including myself did or do not realize it but government is a large aspect of everyday life. From how you get to school, what you eat in the course of the day including quality and sales, and how long you stay in school or work. A large one that nearly everyone knows that is government affiliated or affected by is how much money you pay for your taxes. Honestly, these are very few ways that the government affects our everyday lives. I believe this is why it is an imperative that more people should take a form of politics class. Not knowing how the government works could really affect several outcomes

Over the semester I hope to learn a few concepts from this course, fist being the voting habits and patterns of urban voters. After graduation I plan on going back to my home city and

I would like to participate in this class because it would give me the opportunity to experience a college campus as well as learn valuable skills to help prepare me for college. I am very interested in this course because I would be able to broaden my point of view on current affairs and gain more knowledge on them. This course is something I would fully commit to by taking out the time to make sure I thoroughly understand the material and by completing
