Reflection 2

  Group 4: Healthcare and Immigration Group 4 explained how healthcare and immigration are connected in the United States. They talked about how many immigrants, especially undocumented ones, struggle to get medical care. The group mentioned that things like high costs, fear of deportation, language barriers, and not having health insurance make it hard for immigrants to see a doctor. Because of these problems, many immigrants wait too long to get help, and their health ends up getting worse.The group also discussed the debate about whether immigrants should be allowed to use public healthcare programs like Medicaid. According to the group, some people believe everyone living in the U.S. should be able to get basic medical care because immigrants work, pay taxes, and help the country. But others worry that expanding healthcare could cost too much money or bring more immigrants into the country. Group 4 pointed out that preventing sickness early is usually cheaper than treating seri...

Blog Reflection on Class Presentations Watching the presentations from Group 4 and Group 2 this week honestly taught me more than I expected. I went in thinking it would just be another class assignment, but I ended up learning not only about their topics, but also about what  good presenting  actually looks like. Seeing other students talk about issues like immigration, healthcare, and the environment made me reflect on my own experiences, my communication style, and even my group’s presentation. This blog is just my honest reflection what I liked, what inspired me, and what I think I can do better next time. Group 4: Immigration & Healthcare Group 4 caught my attention the moment they walked up because they all matched. They looked coordinated, professional, and confident. I didn’t realize something as simple as matching outfits could make such a strong impression until I saw them. Before they even said a word, their appearance already gave them credibility. Once they st...

Blog on Group 4 Presentation: Immigration and Health Care

  Groups 4’s presentation was about  Immigration and Health Care , and it really caught my attention because it’s a topic that affects so many people today. They did a great job explaining how both immigration and health care have changed over time and how the two are connected. I liked how they started with the history of medicine and health care, then moved on to the history of immigration, and finally connected both topics to the issues people face today. Their slides were organized and easy to follow, and I could tell they spent time researching and putting everything together. What made the presentation even better was how they included interviews and real-life examples, which made the topic feel more personal and real. Overall, Group 4’s presentation helped me see how immigration policies and access to health care can really affect people’s lives, especially those who move to the United States looking for a better future. History of Health Care The group started by going...

Diego Zayas - Reflection 2

  Watching the presentations was both informative and inspiring. Each group tackled complex topics that are deeply relevant today—immigration, healthcare, and the environment—and they did so with professionalism and creativity. As a college student still developing my public speaking and teamwork skills, I found these presentations valuable not only for what they taught me about the issues themselves but also for what they revealed about effective communication. Observing how each group organized their ideas, presented their research, and interacted with the audience gave me new insight into how I can improve in my own future projects. Group 4: Health Care and Immigration Group 4’s presentation immediately stood out for its polish and structure. From the moment they stepped to the front, I could tell they had put serious effort into preparation. They all wore coordinated outfits, which made them appear united and professional. That simple choice already set a tone of seriousness ...

  Group 1: Public Speaking, Confidence, and Listening Group 1 went first, and I think they did a good job of starting things off. They talked about how public speaking has changed over time. I never really thought about that before. To me, public speaking was just standing in front of the class and talking. But they explained how, in the past, people used speeches in town squares or debates, and now we have things like podcasts, YouTube, and even TikTok. That made me realize public speaking isn’t just in school it’s basically everywhere. The part I liked most was about confidence. I get nervous when I have to speak in front of people. My hands shake, I forget what I was going to say, and I just want to sit down. They explained that confidence isn’t something you’re just born with. It’s something you practice and build over time, like a muscle. That made me feel a little better because sometimes I think I’ll never get good at it. But now I see it’s something I can improve if I ...
