Civic Engagement Video/Survey


     The video revolving around cvic action made me realize how many of these issues need to be solved and made aware. its always good to encourage others to vote and engage in their community for the better. It could be spreading awareness or volunteering in local youth centers. I feel like if I had the motivation I would definitely try to engage more and be ask my peers to engage as well. Taking care and improving a community is also up to those who live around it and are willing/aware to help with the cause. I feel as if people began becoming more aware of things going on around them, they would be inspired to cooperate and devote some of their time to improving conditions to truly make our community the best it could be.

two TED talks on the same subject (SI-3)

 Points: 10  https://youtu.be/WyprXhvGVYk What are the most important moral problems of our time?  “I estimate we thereby saved over 60 million lives. Thats more lives saved than if we’d achieved world peace in the same time period”  https://youtu.be/Czg_9C7gw0o Is Social Media hurting your mental health?  “My life is social media: personality, professionally, and academically.

I have always been a taller girl with a wide back, rib cage, and broad shoulders. My body is more on the masculine side in my opinion and I began to compare myself to the women that are stereotypically depicted as beautiful. They are beautiful, but i DIDNT believe

Citizenship Test (DE-27)

Image
    Points: 5 Taking this test gave me a piece of what many people need to learn in order to become citizens. I personally believe that the questions presented to me along this quiz are fair, if they are remotely anything similar to the test people need to take for the real thing. As a student and child of a Spanish speaking father who has taken the test, I can understand that it could be difficult to completely understand a language that isn't your own. I believe that being considerate of participants is a factor to taking these tests and making sure they have the time to answer each one since most of them most likely are learning the language to prove themselves.

Registered Voter (DE-1)

Image
Points: 5 Registering to vote was probably a very important moment in my life, solely because it's a way for me to help make a change at my age. The registration process was quite easy to be completely honest, I was able to do it at my high school before the pandemic so I had teacher assistants guide me with any questions I had. I was nervous most of the time because I didn't want to get anything wrong, but I just made sure to double check with them. Filling out the form was understandable in my opinion and didn't need much documentation from what I remember, it was fast and simple.
