My name is Shaun. Typical teenager I guess.

Reflection of the South America Project We needed to figure out a way to help the people of South America, and make a profit at the same time so we decided that if we grew corn and gave them jobs picking it, that would be a great way to help the people help themselves, as well as make us money in the process. The people would get paid a fair wage for the amount of work they were doing, which in turn would help them in any financial way they needed, such as standard of living, food, medicine, ect.

Reflection of the Middle East Project We made a thorough keynote on the muslim people to educate the security staff guarding the americans living in the middle east on how to better interact with the muslims over there. I learned that the muslims are crazy, and the Islamic religion is even crazier. They can't eat good food, the women can't walk around without being covered so you don't know if your dating an ugly chick, and their holy text says you should attack people that don't believe. Crazy. I think we did a good job achieving what we set out to do, which was provide a service that would educate people on the muslim way, and how not to offend them. The three main topics we covered were culture, religion, and social interaction, but there was also language, government, transportation, and food. I was tasked with culture and transportation. I don't think I would do anything different, and the process seems fine to me.

Reflection of the Asia Project I wasn't here

Reflection of the Africa Project I didn't really learn anything new about Africa. I already knew they have awful living conditions, and most of the people there are in a bad way. I think that country is beyond saving, and even though charity organizations efforts are valiant, they're futile. The only way that place is ever going to get better is if all the countries in the world band together to end world poverty, and well honestly that's just not going to happen.
