Group Reflection Paper

As a whole, I believe the group worked well together by communicating and providing feedback throughout the whole process. Each group member did their share of their work and contributed as a whole to any discussion or questions we had as a group. In the process of brainstorming, Christopher discussed the topic about nuclear weapons and how it’s a big issue in today’s world not just in America but globally across the world. We agreed on the topic since all of us had an idea about the issue with nuclear weapons. Together as a group we helped formulate a group question and individual questions that relate to politics, economics, and the safety of our world. The discussions we had it was a new experience for us, we didn’t even know each

As a group we helped each other and shared ideas to overcome the obstacles that we went through individually and as a team. During the research process, we individually conducted our own research for our specific questions. I had an issue on figuring out what lens my question relates to; I asked Marco and Christopher for their opinions on the lens that my question would relate to. They provided several ways to tackle the question by either science or ethics. Furthermore, had an issue on explaining the economic lens. As a group we agreed that Marco can show and explain the economic lens by using graphs and statistics to give some insight on how nuclear weapons affect the economy. Lastly, Christopher had trouble explaining the political lens. As a group we discussed the definition of politics and brainstormed ideas about our current president, political views, political parties, and politicians to guide him. I personally felt that we were all leaders, we listened and respected each other's ideas. For our solutions, we individually proposed solutions for our lens but we took the best solutions from each

We decided that we need to abolish and ban nuclear weapons to maintain the world safe. It will require detailed plans and global cooperation; by the encouragement of the government to take leadership role to promote a nuclear free world globally. Also the people need to know how many weapons exist in their country and around the world in order to come up with detailed plans of getting rid of the weapons existence; with the government and the people’s cooperation we can achieve this goal. We agreed that this needed to be our group solution because individually we had all proposed to this solution. I proposed the abolishment and banning of the weapons following with the encouragement of the government which ties along with Marco’s proposed solution of detailed plans and global cooperation which also ties in with the cooperation of the people that Christopher proposed about educating the people all over the world about the number of weapons that exist today. Another part of our solution from Marco and I had to do with limiting the number of weapons and reduce nuclear testings and their development. In addition, to make the solution work I proposed the shut down of testings sites and blocking ships that carry nuclear weapon materials. Marco proposed the demand of states to renounce the no first-use of nuclear weapon in relation to what I proposed address the nuclear
