    Week 3 Assignment – Reflexive Paper
 

Overview

We all have different experiences going  through life. Those experiences shape how we view the world and how we  behave in it. In this assignment you are going to look at your own  experiences of the world and culture we live in by being reflexive. As  you have learned over the past few weeks, reflexivity is “disciplined  self-reflection” meant to build deeper understanding, not just of  ourselves, but of the larger world. The goal of reflexivity is to  understand others so that we can understand ourselves and grow. To be  disciplined, the reflection needs to be purposeful and directed, meaning  we need to look at something specific in the world and then compare it  to our own personal experiences and decide if this new knowledge changes  how we think and feel. This assignment provides an opportunity  for you to delve deeper into your own thoughts, feelings, and  experiences, and gain a better understanding of your own personal lens.  By being reflexive, you will better understand how social and cultural  norms, assumptions, biases, environment, and background shape your  worldview.
