Group 2 Reflections

 Anthony Volquez-Colon The presentations this time around was more of issues we have in and as a society.   Problems that the world is facing still till this day and age.   The three major issues this class presented on was Racism, Pandemic/Healthcare background, and Education.   I was very eager to work on this project because, even though they are sensitive topics to some, I believe we should talk about it and raise awareness.   I believe this project was a great way in educating ourselves in many important issues that the world is facing today. The first one to start was Group 3.   Their presentation was about the serious issue of Racism, the history and the current issues.   Group 3 did an amazing job showing how deep racism has been rooted into the US, a great example is the history they taught us with the Confederacy.   I found it so interesting the way they showed how our educational system had tried to rewrite the narrative of how ho...

  SPC Presentations Blog Post Throughout the presentations that were recently done in our class I learned a lot. We spoke about, learned about, and were taught about very difficult topics throughout them. Topics such as racism, the COVID pandemic, difficulties in education, etc. These are things that may be hard to talk about, yet they hold a very high importance due to the fact that we are all witnesses to these events. The group that presented about racism brought up an interesting point. They mentioned that racism is a worldwide thing and some continents even going as far as to commit racism-fueled atrocities. A perfect example of this was Nazi Germany in the 20 th century. Fueled by anger and hate, Germany’s leaders essentially murdered people due to their race, disabilities, skin color, etc. Even today there are people in concentration camps within China, mostly consisting of Muslims. This is just one small example of the many interesting and important things I learned thro...
