Group Reflection Paper

Throughout the project, our group worked very well together. The groups were chosen randomly, which gave me the opportunity to work with some people in our class that I had not worked with and would probably not worked with them if it was not for this project. On the first brainstorming day when we were grouped together, we started out the meeting with general discussion about the topics that interested us most. I took the leadership role in the group discussion and lead the topics. I helped guide the discussions in the right direction and asked questions to help my group mates develop ideas about possible topics. I had the original idea of doing world hunger as our topic, but Kacen and Ashley were major contributors to the idea because of …show more content…
My other group members worked collaboratively to come up with sources and other solutions for the problem of world hunger. After we discussed the possible overall problem of hunger we came up with other possible problems that we knew about and that affected both the local and global community. After brainstorming slightly more with the group we unanimously decided to focus on world hunger and food shortages. We each chose a solution, some group members needed assistance with this. After we finalized our topic, we separated to do research on our specific solutions. After finishing our final presentations, we practiced our individual presentations in front of each other. We each gave each other feedback on the presentations and put the final touches on them for the video taping. After the presentations were done and each of us fully understood each individual solution that was presented, we gathered to discuss a group solution. The strong opinions of a few group members did not cause any problems for our group since we are all respectful of what others think and talked through what we truly thought about what the solution should …show more content…
The group solution consisted of three individual solutions from our group members. We decided that best thing to do would be to expand the use of GMOs, give credit loans to developing countries, and recycle food waste. Using all three of these things together would be the most effective, rather than using only one. The GMOs focuses mainly on the scientific of technological lense. Genetically modified organisms are the scientific process of genetically engineering an organism to improve it, this focuses mainly on the advancement of how they are engineered through science and technology. This section of the main solution was my personal solution. The next part of the group solution is focused more on economics. Credit loans to other countries is a way to help developing nations pay for food and food production. This is the slightly less feasible part of the solution, since it does require money being loaned from nation to another. The third and final part of our solution helps to ensure that we are able to effectively help the entire world. Recycling food waste focuses on the environmental lense. Recycling food waste allows for people all around the world to create a more fertile soil for crop production, is affordable, and can be done by almost
