Genetic Engineering Reflection

As a group, I believe that we all worked together very well for the duration of the project. Throughout the entire process, each person contributed to their role as well as their part in any discussion that took place. In the beginning, not everyone was present when we were trying to decide on our topic for the project. Ashlyn and I had brainstormed ideas off of each other and came to two ideas to choose from, genetic engineering and racial discrimination in the criminal justice system. I was the one who suggested genetic engineering, while Ashlyn had suggested racial discrimination in the justice system. Justin was also with us at the time, and while he didn’t come up with an idea, he was cooperative when we came up with the two. We didn’t

Before conducting research, Ashlyn had been absent and when brainstorming ideas for each individual person we left her open for her to choose her own. Each person was able to come up with their ideas, except Justin, who we helped out a bit. During our research process, we all separated and started to research our personal topics; however, from time to time we all would all come together and give each other constructive criticism. In order to create our group's solution, we had discussed each member’s solution to find comparisons that would help us create our group solution. One of Ashlyn’s solutions had played a big role when creating our group solution and was considered the

At first, it was difficult to figure out our group solution, because of all our topics were different in variety. I had personally proposed my solution in that a Criminal Investigation Council would be created in order to thoroughly evaluate each case, and from this, we knew we wanted to contribute an idea similar. Ashlyn’s solution had then been discussed which involved creating a set of policies towards sentences, and we knew immediately that this would be our group’s solution foundation. After our discussion, we came to our solution: The creation of policies for each criminal sentence. The basis of this was that when sentencing a criminal for their crime it will, ultimately, be equal for each individual. For example, the policies for someone to be given a death penalty sentence would have to commit serious forms of crimes. Examples of these types of crime include but are not limited too: mass murder, acts of terrorism, being involved with selling illegal drugs, kidnapping, and any severe forms of assault. Before being sentences the criminal would be put through trial and have his case be evaluated by comparing it to the sentence policies. This would not only prevent discrimination but also allow an equal way in general to sentence criminal without being
