       Hi, my name is Joshua Espinoza and today I am going to be reviewing and critiquing the second group project that was assigned to the class. Group one based their presentation on paying it forward. Paying it forward is an interesting topic because how it can basically make someone’s entire day or possibly their week. I like how the group included what paying it forward can do to the receiver because it can mean the world to them, We never know what anyone goes through therefore, paying it forward can mean so many different things. It could be that the person was a few bucks short and weren’t able to pay, or that they are just unhappy, and the gesture shows how’s there’s still kindness in the world and that there is always something to look forward to. In the presentation I also thoroughly enjoy how it is explained that paying it forward is also great for the person that does it. It helps ease their mind a bit and know that they did a small part to make the worl...

Reflection #2

Isabela Zorro Professor Sinkoff SPC1017 The theme of the second project was happiness and its different characteristics. To begin with, the first group presented the topic of paying it forward, where they explained that paying it forward can be an act of generosity and charity, just as they explained to us that paying it forward can change someone's circumstances without us realizing that in We are really making a change for the better in his life where that person will feel happy and loved. Apart from all this information, what I liked the most and found interesting was how they put educational videos where they explained this topic in more depth. Apart from that, they added images, graphs, and educational examples where they show the topic in more depth and with more detail. Honestly, I enjoyed this presentation because they used examples from everyday life, and the truth is that in most of them, I identified. Paying it forward also helps us grow as people because since we are ha...
