When completing my Inquiry Project, I gained a better understanding of the motivations behind human betrayal. Exploring historical, literary, and psychological perspectives showed that betrayal is often based in vulnerability, ambition, or a need for self-preservation. This process taught me to think critically about how trust is both built and broken, as well as the consequences of such actions. It was also an opportunity to my work on my ability to connect abstract ideas with concrete examples, making my analysis more impactful. Overall, this project challenged me to view betrayal not as a simple act, but as a reflection of humanity’s inner struggles and desires.

I can examine and evaluate to improve my own work; evidence of that is during my inquiry project I looked over my work time and time again, constantly finding new ways to make it better until I was happy with it.

I gather and synthesize information to develop logical conclusions, such as when I was doing my research for my project and I gathered my information and came to a conclusion on the reasons behind betreyal.

I look for, develop and weigh different perspectives and pieces of evidence, as demonstrated by looking through different perspectives in history to find the true reasoning why people do what they do.
