Week 5 Reflection

This week the group mates for the individual and global project continues to work on the project. We took up the global issue of whether the events of 911 were conspiracy or not. I was having trouble contributing to the project because we really had not discussed a central question to what we were actually going to say. When we finally went through and used some  of the 8 elements of reasoning we had a better understanding of what we were going to present. I was still having trouble trying to contribute information because our argument sounded very one sided and was heavily weighing on the conspiracy. I remembered what a professor of history had said about the subject and shared with my group mates what I remembered.  What I think I did, was to look at the circle of reasoning and find a different point of view and reuse the same questions that our first point of view had but I came up with a different conclusion to what lead to the events leading to the destruction of the Twin Towers and bombing of the Pentagon.
We also picked groups for the debate. Our group got against school uniform and pro war both of which I do not agree with but am finding reasons rethink the school uniform issue. Not too sure on the war issue.
