Reflection:
As a group, we were very good at distributing the workload equally and efficiently. For the content of the presentation, we divided our topic into three subtopics. We did this based off the fact that the academic sources we retrieved focus on distinct aspects of marijuana legalization. Thai's articles focused on the economy, Melissa's focused on changes to the justice system and mine were geared toward social change and the safety of marijuana use. We proceeded to do extensive research on our topics and find a way to relate them back to the same problem and question. When composing a power point presentation, interview script, and speech outline, we all contributed insightful thoughts and ideas.I think the only challenges we faced as a group was finding a time slot to meet in person. As an individual, I struggled to find an interviewee that had an insightful point-of-view and credible experience with witnessing the impact of drug cartels and marijuana use on society. I was able to overcome that problem eventually with enough searching, but I still had a challenge speaking during the presentation. I felt confident, and I said everything that I believe was necessary for our argument. However, I have trouble with talking too rapidly. I hope that my part in the presentation was clear, concise and slow enough for everyone to receive my ideas.
As a group I believe we deserve full credit for having for having identified a clear problem with the legality of marijuana and supporting our argument and stance with credible and logical information. As an individual, I'm satisfied with the research and composition that I contributed in order to argue that marijuana legalization will increase the safety of the public. My demonstration of persuasion techniques such as credibility, logical and emotional appeals were proficient and deserving of an A on this assignment.
