I didn't know about the Yom Kippur war and I found it very interesting. It is interesting that they would sink that low to attack during a holiday.

The final stage of my learning came when I started research on the ten stages of genocide. Through media that I consumed on the topic of genocide, I came to understand that the ten stages of genocide aren't a linear process. It's much more like a flowing stream that can happen at anytime. With this, I also learned how this can relate to current times. The stages of genocide are observable in a number of situations all around the world and left unchecked could lead to negative consequences.
After some research on YouTube and Wikipedia I have a better understanding of what happened during the war. This includes what happened in multiple countries. These include France, Germany, Britain, Belgium, and Russia. As well as how what is occurring in these countries is effecting each other. In addition to this, I now need to focus on my understanding of the ten stages of genocide and how they relate to what happened during this time.
So far I have learned what lead up to world war 2 and what happened in the early years. This included rising tension all over the world. A ruined economy lead to people being desperate for change, leading to polarizing world leaders that dragged the world into conflict. I still have some questions about what happened during the war.
World War 1 is a host to extremely interesting information. Once I really dove into that information it reviled a rich collection of facts and history. The most interesting thing that I learned was how complex trenches were. Trenches were winding mazes with frequent turns, as apposed to the straight lines commonly scene in pop culture. Another thing that really intrigued me was that shotguns were ruled as inhumane. The advent of shotguns changed combat, promoting the effective use of close range combat. When Germany ruled the shotgun inhumane it interested me by how Hippocratic it was. Germany was the first to use toxic gas and flamethrowers in combat. One last thing I learned was that Dreadnoughts rarely saw service. With the large investment into the ships, both sides were afraid to loose them. This resulted in only one large scale battle that left both sides injured.
What is going to be the easiest part of the Learning Process for you and why do you think this?
I believe that research will be the easiest for me because I am really interested about both world wars and learning about them would keep me interested for a long time. I can use a myriad of sources to deepen my understanding such as podcasts, movies, or reading. What is going to be the hardest? I believe that reflection is going to be the hardest for me. I have always gotten always absorbed in what I do for school and reflection is never a natural thought in my mind when completing a project. I normally go back and look at what i have completed after I am done and then reflect form there instead of from parts of the project. Doing that with this project has been really challenging for me but I think it is a good skill to learn and eventually master. |
