Reflection is the process of carefully considering and weighing elements of one
or more topics. As part of your interdisciplinary studies, you will reflect on
the six tenets of society: people, sustainability, politics, technology, global
citizenship, and ethics. This topic gives you the opportunity to assimilate
materials based on earlier topics, ponder the viability, effectiveness, and
impact of society, and subsequently write about your reflections. Based on your thoughts and ideas
on the six tenets of society, you will make recommendations for areas where you
perceive weakness and/or ineffectiveness.
