Rights Project

What is your right? The freedome of an individual to come together with other individuals.
Why does your right exist? This right exists so that individuals with common interests can come together and discuss them. Also this right existis so that people with opposing views can PEACEFULLY get together and discuss why they disagree.
Describe what it means to exercise your right. If I were exersise my right to the right of assembly you might see me doing things we take forgranted like going to a concert, a sporting event, a rally or even a party.
What limitations exist on your right? The assembly has to be peacful, a common misconseption is that we have the right to assemble and it doesn't matter whether the assembly is peacful or not this is untrue. ALthough, as long as the assembly you are participating in does not cause a disturbance of the community or the peace you and your party should be able to assembly without any problems from athorities.
Why do those limitations exist? Limitations on this right exist so the athourities have the right to interviene if the assembly is causing a disturbance, becoming violent or threatening to others, or is violent or threatening for those involved.
If you had to give up this right, what would you want in return? I value this right greatly and if this right were to be taken from me it would have to be taken with force because I would not freely give this right up for something in return. By force I mean that if this right would be taken from me it would have to be taken with threats or heavy penalty. I hope that I am never put into this situation!

Reflection post (FINALLY!!)

What did you learn? This project taught me alot about the roles women have had in the past and how far we have come in the sense of equality between men and women, I still think we have a long way to go but we are getting there!
What was your research question? My research question was: How did Rosie the riviter effect women of the world war two era?
What was the answer to your research question? The answer to my research question was that the idea of rosie the riviter gave women alot of power that they did not have previously had. Her role in the social changes that took place during that era paved the way for the oppertunities that we take forgranted today.
Did your final product answer that question? My final product did answer that question because it presented my research in an easy to follow and not overwhelming way.
How? The scrapbook showed the progress women made by showing with pictures and text.
What did you do well on the project? ON this project i did well with staying on task and keepinng organized!
What could you have improved on the project? Just using my time at home better and recording it in progress posts the day i did the work.
What would you change about what you did on the project? I would not change anything i did on this project.
What would you change about the assignment itself? i would change the way the night was set up because i think peoples projects were too spread out.
What grade do you think you deserve on the project? Why? I think that i deserve a high A becasue i stayed ahead of the guidelines and my final project was well organized and neatly put together.
