The Morality and Politics of Justice Project
Artest Statment:
This art piece represents my perspective of how Mandatory National Service would affect our country. From the research I have gather the, in other countries the majority of their mandatory national service recruits are in military service. From how I perceive America I believe that we would also take on this military based national service. This taking away our freedom, families and not to mention that this would all happen in such a young age. This is represented through the baby for age, the Happy 18th poster shows his actual age. Through his parents standing over his grave, this represents that his life was basically taken away. In this art piece is shows pathos through the pictures, that connect to families, and young adults, and logos through the quote. I picked this quote because it shows logic in my thinking, and it is by e very well known person.

Project Reflection:
Our humanities class started this project off by studying moral philosophy connecting to whets is just and unjust. Then picked a political issue to write about, the essay had three parts. The three parts of the essay were part one: Why we believed what we believed personally and how it was affected by how we grew up. Then we wrote part two, and three, which were fro the issue and against the issue. In part two and thee, we had to cite evidence, and both arguments had to be just as strong. We then had to create a part four, this could be a number of this, an oped ed, a poem, a visual peace, a video est. After completing all four stages of this project we presented them to the public. In my first draft I didn't have very good organization, or situations. When Ashley( our teacher) critiqued our papers she noticed that all my paragraphs weren't exactly organized. After I reorganized all my papers I believe that It made my paper stronger and easier to read. I then had to redo all of my citation, because they were not formatted correctly. After making these two changes I believe that my paper was a lot stronger, organized and altogether easier to read. Through this project my beliefs have shifted a lot. When I started this project my main belief was that national service was military based. This belief made me unlike the idea of mandatory national service, because I don't believe that 18 year olds should have to go it to the military, and have their lives taken away. Through this project I learned that national service has a variety of different branches, education, health, environment etc. After learning this it made me rethink if this would benefit our country. I did a lot of research on the opposing side, and found that in fact it could benefit our country greatly, but from statistics from other countries it shows differently. In some other country the military branch takes over, making the majority of recruits go into the military field. Knowing what our country prioritizes we would mostly go down that route which scares me, and is why I still believe that mandatory national service should not be instated. |
