Reflection
I feel that this reflection was basically upon why I think we did this project and what I learned from it.
I believe we did this project because even though we learned a lot about many of the subjects, there were just some that we really didn’t learn about so thoroughly. So, we did a project on the subjects (and new ones as well) and learned a lot about them. Our group did the project on Chechnya and I didn’t even know information like that existed. Also, the groups that did the Holocaust must have learned more about the topic than in class.
I didn’t like only one thing about this project. It was hard for me to look up some of the information. I didn’t know anything about the topic before we even started. We were supposed to do the project on a topic that we weren’t familiar with. It was hard to find out things, especially for me. Everybody else in my group had the main points about Chechnya like the wars. I only got that timeline and the problem with that was is that I didn’t learn much about the topic. Learning important dates was good, but I didn’t know anything about what those events were. But, I then learned a lot more after talking to my group.
I liked that I got to learn a lot about the topic and learned what happened to the Chechens. It was amazing to learn about each war and what happened in them. I thought it was sad to learn about specific events like the killing of thousands of innocent people. It was kind of fun to know what happened to these people and knowing that their freedom was taken away and abused the Human Rights too. That was wrong of Russia to do that and I found it more amazing that the conflict is still going on today.
I learned a lot about Russia and the case of Chechnya. I never knew a lot of the facts about this topic until last week when we picked the subject to do for our project. It was a little difficult in the beginning, but then I understood it and I find it fascinating what happened to Chechnya and the many events that happened to the Chechens that are still going on to this very moment .
