Desert Island Artifact
About The Project
For the above project I had to create a government and legal code that details how society will function on a desert island scenario. This project involves creativity to create a legal code as well as the ethical and moral aspects of law.
Core Competency Reflection
Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in how I outlined the system of government and legal code to clear up any confusion and any questions that may be raised against a legal code. I also communicated purposefully when comparing my code to others. I demonstrated the ability to make judgements and decisions in my code which can be seen in the punishments and rights outlined. I made moral and ethical decisions to produce a fair and just code as well as a society that will function smoothly. Also, I develop and weigh my options as demonstrated by the moral aspect of the code. I was able to take both sides of situations to make punishments that were fair but also contribute to society and bring justice to the community. I am willing to explore controversial issues such as justice in order to imagine and work toward change in myself or the world including, the development of society based on the procedures and punishments laid out in legal codes.
Curricular Competency Reflection
I was able to create a government that highlights ethical judgments about controversial decisions, legislation and policy. I was able to consider the ethics and morals of punishments given out to infractions of the law as well as both sides of scenarios to make sure that society continues to move forward and justice is maintained. I was able to create a strong legislation by detailing the procedures and systems that would be followed with the goal of expanding society. I made sure to highlight policy in the project by outlining various rights and freedoms to make sure that society is kept calm and that governments could not be oppressive towards society as a whole or against specific groups.
