Reflection On The Civic Mirror

I give this movie a six out of five-star rating. How it managed to keep me on the edge of my seat the entire time is beyond me; I am still in disbelief that I was fully engaged for the entire two hours and twenty-six minutes. Although I had heard many great things about the novel, the film exceeded all of my expectations. The Natural teaches many valuable lessons about perseverance, determination, commitment, karma, relationships, and staying young at heart.

An average citizen can engage in civic life many ways. The ways are important even though that individual participates in that activity only once. One of the ways is to start where they are. This means that the person does not need to know everything. They are bound to make mistakes simply because they are not perfect and it is through those mistakes that they going to learn and get better. The second is to take things step by step. In everything there is a process and there is an order to doing it therefore it is important to take thing one-step at a time. The

After conducting a windshield survey of a small area in Detroit near the Livernois and McNichols area, it is easy to conclude that the socioeconomic status of the areas population is lower then many areas within Wayne County. According to a recent news article published within the Detroit Free Press, the surveyed area is working its way to an economic comeback.

When learning information about important facts, dates, and the influential people who made up U.S. history, I do not remember learning much of anything regarding the Irish, Chinese, or Japanese. Well, except for Pearl Harbor and the U.S. retaliating against Japan by dropping atomic bombs. I definitely learned that people from around the world immigrated by boat across vast amounts of ocean for a chance to thrive in the land of freedom called America. I learned that millions of people entered through Ellis Island in the late nineteenth century, looking upon the Statue of Liberty, in hopes of finding their right to life, liberty, and happiness. I learned that the majority of these people were stricken of their identities and provided new American names that were easier to pronounce. I did not however, learn about the great discrimination and hardship that these people suffered at the hands of white Americans. The major theme presented is labor discrimination, unequal and unfair pay, long hours, and harsh working and living environments in regards to the Mexican Americans, Chinese, and Japanese. Takaki (2008) paints a vivid picture of discrimination and suffering of the people known as the “others” living and working in the multicultural “melting pot” United States, in his book A Different Mirror: A History of Multicultural America.

I will be taking viewpoints from both sides of each party and to identify whether they acted democratically in terms of how they promoted themselves to the public. Additionally, how public opinion is persuaded through political discourse will be theorized through the works of Habermas and Lipmaan.

In conclusion, political leaders across the world are often noted for their accomplishments during times of crisis in the minds of the people and within the books written about such events. Although political leaders must have certain skills and abilities in order to fulfill the tasks given to them once they enter office, those skills are simply tools to be used against the challenges faced. How political leaders face the challenges and how the challenge is initially solved, such as how they benefit the people at large by their actions, is what they are remembered the most

One of the most sizable issues that we could have avoided if we had listened to him, is political parties. Political parties “distract the Public Councils...agitates the Community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms… opens the door [for] foreign influence and corruption”. Especially in the election of 2016, we can see the

My project relates to the course objectives twelve and seven this is because it talks about inclusion, in which all types of diversity are respected, appreciated, and valued in America. As well as the vital role of the people in creating and maintaining a society through voluntarism and civic engagement, a role that can complement and replace the role of the government ensuring the well-being of society. Civic engagement involves “working to form a distinction at intervals the civic life of one’s community and developing the combination of information, skills, values and motivation to form that distinction. It suggests that promoting the quality of life throughout a community, through every political and non-political process” (Erlich, 2000). Civic engagement includes every paid and unpaid style of political policy, environmentalism, and community and repair. Volunteering is one kind of civic engagement. Many of the nation’s volunteer’s group are youngsters. 59 percent of teenagers in the U.S. are recorded for their participation in youth volunteer. Most youth volunteers do so out of selflessness and by wanting to make a difference throughout other individual’s lives.

Windshield surveys are the motorized equivalent of simple observation. They involve the generation of data that helps to define the community, the trends, stability, and changes that all serve to define the health of the community (Stanhope, 2012, p. 409-410). I choose to use the Pilgrim Park neighborhood for my windshield Survey which I conducted on November 1st, 2017 around 11 o 'clock am.

Authorization is an imperative component for any society. Civic Mirror taught our class the necessity for bureaucracy in today’s life. Government enforces correct behavior in organizing every individual for further equality. In civic mirror, Congress composed laws to reinforce civility. If citizens acted against this reinforcement, a trial would be held. In addition to emphasized legislation, administration of necessary goods also justifies the importance for government. The provided prices for essentials were very inexpensive compared to the private marketers. The primary action the authority takes is implementing God-given rights. In the taught simulation, every individual was granted the right to a fair trial, for every case required an impartial jury. The importance of government is integral in the provision of necessary guidance to its citizens as shown through Civic Mirror.

Community life and civic engagement are a huge responsibility of citizens, although it is not required by citizens, it is an important aspect of a proper citizen. Residents of a community have the constant responsibility of making the society around them reflect an advance in the eminence of lives in the community. The simple duty of any citizen is to give to the common good. Civic responsibilities are achieved by volunteering and choice. Volunteering, involving in positive organizations and aids, or tutoring people in certain subjects, are all ways that people can subsidize to the good of the community. Small deeds that seem to prosper someone in some way or the other is still a way of helping. To learn something from the assistance that one does to another, the deed does not have to be big, as long as the person providing the assistance is doing it with a good heart they can always acknowledge a lesson. Compassion and love is necessary in helping others. When people have the opportunity to help others they may not always get a gift in return, sometimes they may not even get a reply back. This is when the person has to realize that the purpose of helping someone is not for the thank you or the gift, but is for the satisfaction of their soul, betterment of the other, and the ability to learn a lesson. Assisting people needs to be done in a thoughtful and effective way for it to create a lasting impact on his/her self and on society itself.

This semester I learned a lot about writing in English 151. It has been a roller coaster ride with these essays for me this semester. I learned step by step how to write a good essay and how to have your readers be engaged in what you’re trying to tell them. Each essay I did has taught me something valuable I can take to the next level of English. I feel as if as the semester went by I did not take my writing that seriously and that reflected in my grades I received in each essay. It made me a better student and writer and it will reflect next semester. In this essay, I will reflect on what I learned throughout this semester that you should apply in your writing when you begin English 151.

I have a lot of lenses I believe. Four of them I think are, first I am Mexican, second my mission, third I am very loving because I am the only girl in the family, and fourth I am a person who knows how to value.

After playing Civic Mirror for three years, I learned lessons that I never would have imagined of learning in grade 10 civics. The most important thing I discovered was the significance of participating and posessing initiative in order to be a successful member of society. During the first year, I did not make many trades as I had little money, was too nervous to raise my concerns in Town Hall and did not find it important to sue anyone in National Court. Along with preventing me from obtaining a high score, not participating restricted me from enjoying myself in Civic Mirror like others did. However, once I increased my participation and took the initiative to trade, I found that my grade in Civic Mirror increased, I looked forward to come to class and I spoke with people whom I had never talked to before. Secondly, Civic Mirror helped me realize the necessity of having a source of income in order to be a prosperous citizen. During the auction, I did not buy a hex as I had very little money and could not afford it. Although the money I had originally been given sufficed me for the first year, the lack of money made it very difficult to fulfill my family’s needs for the next two years. This experience allowed me to understand that when I grow up and become a self-sufficient member of society, it is extremely important that I have a secure source of income. Along with helping me fulfill my needs, the money that I

If we don’t participate in such activities, then we don’t get a chance to know people. Civic engagement is all about to improve our society, but if we don’t care about this things, then how can we improve our society? As a citizen, it is our responsibility to improve our society. Engaging in such activities also can help us to get an idea of what people want?
