Reflection
For this assessment it just involved a whole bunch of research and the information was to be presented. The project was a group presentation, I had one other partner. Gathering the information itself wasn't too hard. We split the research between the two of us and we successfully compiled the necessary information. All the required facts were already gathered such as the core beliefs, practices, and how the religion answers the fundamental questions of life. We got all that. The presentation part was the reason I didn't maximize my score. Since the research went well, I felt too confident and didn't practice to present as much as I should have. I didn't review as much and it costed me. There was one part in the presentation which I struggled. That is what I need to improve. If only I didn't underestimate the task and studied full on. In the future, I must take everything seriously no matter how easy it looks.
This task can be connected with the fundamental concept intercultural awareness because religion is surely part of culture. Since we learned a variety of religion, this has raised my awareness on culture in general. My knowledge in religion has increased and it will help me know more about cultures in particular countries. For example, since Indonesia is a Islamic country, knowing more about Islam has raised my awareness on Indonesia's culture.
