Learning Reflection - Week 13

1. At what moment did you feel most engaged with your learning for the week? Be specific. Why was this the moment when you felt most engaged?

The moment when I felt most engaged was while writing about my virtues. This was the moment for me because it really took a thought to describe my update and process on acquiring my virtue.

2. What have you learned this semester in terms of the founder’s ideas about the nation and the role of the citizen/government?

I have learned many things this semester in terms of the founder’s ideas about the nation and the role of the citizen/government. For one, as citizens of the U.S.A., we need to be more aware and practice our duties as citizens. Second, we need to become more active in our government. People think that only elected officials can make a change, but the people are the ones that elect the officials. We have a chance to make a difference, yet so many of us opt out. Many other countries do not have the benefits that we do as American citizens, and we need to take advantage of that.

3. What have you learned about Enlightenment literature and self and community help? In your opinion, why is this kind of writing part of American literature and what it means to be an American?

Enlightenment literature and self and community help are so very important. This type of writing is part of American literature because we can express ourselves better. It helps us to become better people and more positive thinking reflects from it.

4. What action did the professors or another student take that you found most helpful or affirming?

As always, the professor has been very helpful. Also, viewing other classmate’s blogs has been informative and helpful as well.

5. What action did anyone take that you found most puzzling or confusing? Why? How did you overcome your confusion?

No confusion this week….thank goodness!

6. What about the reading and discussion has surprised you?

The reading and discussion has been informative and interesting, but nothing surprising. I personally like the Online Discussion Forum because of the interaction with my classmates, as well as hearing what other people think about a particular issue.
