I chose this work sample because oh.my.god. it took it OUT of me. I swear I spent an entire week, at least, stressing out about it. I had trouble reaching the word count, ensuring I was saying things instead of just trying to stretch out my essay to reach the word count, and just overall make sure it was good. The research also took a while to find credible sources. The assignment was to write a 5 page research paper delving into a current political issue, and the issue from three different cultures viewpoint. I chose the topic of abortion, and that topic through the lense of America, South Korea, and South Africa.
21st Century Skill
This assignment definitely covers the 21st century skill Global Awareness, as the essay demonstrates my understanding of the thinking, motivation, and action of 3 different cultures in order to navigate, respond, and better understand the political issue we covered.
Area of Improvement
I definitely want to say more about how the government made women feel about receiving abortions within each country, and what was done to stigmatize or de-stigmatize the topic. I'm glad I am able to, considering the one I am presenting today is just a rough draft.
