Name of Assignment: Imagination Essay
Subject: Sociology Facilitator/Teacher: Professor Legare For this assignment we had to pick a social issue that we thought was important to talk about. I chose Homelessness. I felt that this topic really needed to be addressed because we as a society have let these people be without a home. I think that some don't realise that they are people too. A person with a past drug addiction is automatically bad and isn't worth giving a job to. But I think that isn't fair. They could be trying so hard to get clean. They could be trying to start over and we aren't giving them a chance. It was called an Imagination essay because we had to imagine what it's like to be in their shoes. While writing this essay I realized how lucky I am. I really can't take anything for granted. I can that my writing has improved being in this class. Something I think this essay has taught me is making sure to double check because I had a lot of grammar mistakes. I think this is really important for future assignments because I would remember to double check again even if I read through it already. I would say I struggled with trying to explain vs getting too ahead of myself and going off path. I had to rewrite my essay a few times because I was going off track. I am proud of myself for being able to get it done pretty fast because it usually takes me a while to write an essay. I think the skills I used for this essay are Self-Directional and Global Awareness skills because I feel that I was very motivated and focused when writing this essay and I am addressing the problem of homelessness in our community and globally. |
