Your research question is designed to explore a complex issue. What makes this topic difficult to answer or solve? Identify at least two different perspectives or factors related to your topic and explain why understanding multiple viewpoints is important.

 Prompt Response: This topic is difficult because people disagree on what counts as free speech and what counts as harm. One perspective is that free speech should be protected, even if opinions are unpopular. Another perspective is that cancel culture can hold people accountable for harmful words or actions. Social media and public pressure also make conflicts spread quickly and become more intense. Understanding multiple viewpoints is important because it helps people find fair solutions and respect different opinions.

Summary: In today's class, we developed our research questions for our project.

Reflection: Reflecting on this freedom of speech versus cancel culture is a complicated issue with strong opinions on both sides. Listening to different viewpoints can help people better understand the issue and make fair decisions.

  Reflection: Reflecting on this, I must admit that I was completely clueless about how to begin my poetry mask, even with the very clear instructions provided. Each element of my mask was crafted with deep personal significance, and it was also intended to be appreciated by others, transforming it into a piece of art. It serves as a reflection of my life.

Describe a time that you had an encounter with a homeless person, either directly or indirectly. What did you think and how did it make you feel?

  Prompt Response:   My mother, father, and I were driving through Atlanta when we stopped at a red light at an intersection. A homeless man was standing in the middle of the road, but not close enough to the cars to be hit. He approached every car that was near him with his sign in hand, begging for something, though I can’t recall what it was. He soon reached our vehicle and asked my father for something. My father immediately shooed away the man as if he were a stray dog, and the man went on his way. Summary: In today's class, we started a story titled: " The Life You Save May Be Your Own" by Flannery O'Connor. Reflection: Reflecting on that time, I did feel sorry for the homeless man. However, it’s important to remember that everything will eventually return to its rightful place.

Thinking about "The Rockpile," what is something your parents forbade you from doing when you were growing up? Explain what it was and why they might have set that rule.

  Prompt Response:   Growing up, my parents strictly forbade me from opening the door to any strangers. While this is a common rule in households, my parents took extra precautions to ensure my and their safety. Although some children disobeyed their parents and opened the door to strangers anyway, I never considered doing such a thing. In conclusion, it’s important to respect the rules set by adults, even if we don’t fully understand them at the time. Summary: In today's class, we started and continued a novel called The Rock Pile by James Baldwin. Reflection: Reflecting on this, there are many rules set in place for us by adults. It is important that we follow and respect those rules as they are in place to help us.
