Final Reflection

This semester in International Politics, my group's blog was on the economic crisis in Europe, specifically the issue in Greece. We learned the timeline that the crisis took place, and the factors that made it disastrous. We then started studying deeper into the chaos in Greece, looking at specific issues and problems, such as corruption of public officials, and poor decision making from the government officials.
Our group was divided into turns of who would write that week's blog post. Since people had other priorities sometimes we would generously take someones week if they had something to do. However, some people took advantage of that generosity and abused it, and some of our group members did not contribute anything, nor did it seem like they were interested in helping. We would ask one another what topic we did for that week, and try to avoid doing the same one over again. In the end I think (those who did work) did a very good informative job of making the blog posts.
I've learned a great deal about the economic crisis in Greece, while I I may not be able to understand what Wall St. tells me, I was able to find articles that were able to break down the complicated economic terms into understandable layman ones. I also learned that people should also not be trusted by their word, because most of the time they will let you down.
