Kaylie Gonzalez Reflection ( Civil Action)

Image
 Hi after participating in the Civic action group project this semester has been one of the most eye-opening and rewarding experiences of my academic journey. our class explored four major topics-Healthcare and Immigration, Immigration and the U.S Economy, Families and Education, and Environment and Safety of the People. Each group brought a unique perspective, and together, the presentations gave me a deeper understanding of how interconnected these systems are and how they affect communities both in the U.S and the world.    Our group (group 2) focused on Healthcare and Immigration, a topic that I found personally meaningful because it ties directly into fairness, equality, and civic responsibility. Our goal was to examine how healthcare access is influenced by immigration status, government policies, and economic inequalities. Each member of the group had a specific role, and we collaborated to present a comprehensive picture of the challenges and opportunities immigra...

Gayelles Presentation Reflection (Civic Action)

Image
Hello! After watching the presentations of all four groups, I am able to express with certainty that everyone contributed something useful and unique. Each group presented their topics with creativity, a well-structure, and good understanding of their topics. Every presentation granted a more in-depth view of social systems and their impacts on people, in the U.S. and globally. Group 1: Immigration and the U.S. Economy Group 1 looked at immigration from the angle of its connection to the economy of the U.S. Christina started off by defining immigration. She really clarified these concepts very well by discussing the difference between legal and illegal immigration which was very helpful in building the audience's knowledge of the topic. Christopher then described the reasons for people's migration, developing the background for understanding the group's effects before the presentation got to the group's conclusions. Donavan's part on how immigration affects economic...

Jephte Civic Engagement Reflection: Healthcare and Immigration

Image
      Participating in the Civic Engagement group project was one of the most insightful experiences of this semester. My group presented on the topic of Healthcare and Immigration. The goal of this project was to explore how civic engagement, immigration policies, and healthcare systems connect to one another. It helped me understand that civic responsibility extends beyond community service it also includes understanding policies that affect people’s well-being. Through this process, I learned the value of research, teamwork, communication, and organization. I also gained a deeper appreciation of how civic engagement can help promote fairness, equality, and better access to healthcare for everyone.       Our group focused on how healthcare access is influenced by immigration status, economic inequality, and government programs. We aimed to highlight the struggles many immigrants face when trying to receive medical care, and to explain how federal and stat...

Juseth Lopez's Reflection (Presentation theme project)

  Juseth Lopez's Reflection  Learning Beyond the Slides When our class started preparing for the group presentations, I honestly thought it would just be another regular project. I imagined it would be about doing research, organizing information, and presenting it in front of everyone. But once we actually started and I listened to all four groups, I realized how much more there was to it. These presentations were not just about facts and slides; they were about people, stories, and how everything in our world connects. Each group had a different topic, yet somehow they all related to one another in a deeper way. Group 1 talked about Immigration and the U.S. Economy. My group, Group 2, focused on Healthcare and Immigration. Group 3 spoke about Families and Education, and Group 4 explored the Environment and the Safety of People. When I looked at all of them together, I could see a big picture forming. It showed how immigration influences healthcare, how education shapes oppor...

Kayling's Reflection: Civil Action and People Matter

  Group 4: Environment and Safety of the People They went into detail of every part of how the U.S. protects their people and how the environment affects this process.  I love how during this whole presentation the speakers come in pairs where one would address a specific topic and then another person will answer them or do the opposite part of the presentation. It really showed their teamwork and unity. First, Suri talks about the environment and how the US approaches these issues. Comparing how other countries protect their environments. Questions that she brought up were a really smart approach to her presentation. They were generalized towards the environment and how the U.S. tackles them. Roger presented the international version of Suri's presentation. How other countries take their approach to environmental issues. He answered the questions that Suri presented and talked about how other countries are shown and raised to think about what is important environmentally. He ...
