Reflection Questions- Is violence justified during a revolution/protest?
A) How did the use of AI assist you in developing this project?
I only used AI once during this project (besides the designated portion of the research where we NEEDED to use AI) and I used it to search the web and find me examples of successful, violent protests. I got the idea for using the Boston Tea Party from Perlexity AI, and I saved much time by using AI to search the web for me.
B) How did you ensure that the work you created was still your own, rather than a product of the AI?
When using AI for research, or for an idea, I made sure to understand everything the AI wrote. By understanding the text, I am able to formulate my own ideas based off what I am reading. This makes it easy to grasp the general idea of what the AI said, without having to copy each word it wrote. Another thing I did was look at the sources where the AI found its information. Doing this, I acquire an even deeper understanding of what I am writing about.
C) Did you agree with the positition you had to argue? Why or why not?
I completely agreed with the position I was arguing. When the project was first announced, I thought to myself, I hope I get to argue that violence is justifiable. I believe this to be true for the same reasons I stated during the podcast. Blind violence isn’t a good thing, but using violence to achieve a common goal for many people is completely justifiable. As long as the violence commited during protest, isn’t as bad as what the oppressive authority were doing, then I believe it to be fine.
Core Competency Reflection
Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposeful can be seen in the second voice file. I delivered a compelling conclusion to my second argument, to restate, and emphasize my arguement. I annunciated key words during my delivery to strike a chord in the audience’s heart.
I use evidence to make judgements or decisions as demonstraterd in my examples. I used many examples of the French revolution to back up my statements. In doing that I showed I can use evidence to make judgements about a topic.
