Self-assessment
Based on the rubric I believe that I deserve a three because I truly believe that I used most of the 21st century skills throughout the project. For critical thinking/problem solving I used this when the set designers came together and discussed what each of us had thoughts on for the final stage, and we were struggling with finding a sort of turning device for the changing of scenes and I helped come up with a design for a triangular shaped prism that we could turn. During the whole Shakespeare project I think I only used Collaboration when we were making the play. I think this because I had to really help out with most of the people as an actor and helping construct the stage, and I used collaboration most when we were rehearsing the play. I used adaptability a lot because I was not use to a large role in a play and I just had to really go through my lines to help me feel comfortable in a large role. I had to use affective communication when I was confused on our essay about Theseus because I didn’t thoroughly understand the topic, so I had to speak with Matt about how I was going to understand and construct my essay. During the project to be honest I didn’t use initiative that much but I used it when Matt assigned me to be the sound designer so I had to come up with technical things we needed to use for the play and find out which characters needed voce overs. Independent research and learning I used when we watched the Mid-Summer Nights Dream movie because I just thought it was a bunch of people talking fancy, so I rented the movie and watched it two more times just to see what I was missing and trying to figure out what the Characters were really saying and after that I felt that I understood this part of the project more now that I had tried to understand what it was about. I don’t really think I used curiosity and imagination much but I kind of used this skill when we made drawings of certain people in the play and it was just using what we wanted them to look like. For this project I believe that I deserve between a two and a three because up until the time we had for the play I wasn’t using my class time to finish my assignments but I had most of it done, I just felt that I would have more time and I eventually did my assignments but most of the time it was last minute work.

I would tell that other student about how it helps us understand more about world problems and how to solve them efficiently. It will tell him/her this to help them understand what and why we did this project. I will also show why worldwide problem solving is important. I was most proud of myself using advocacy during this conference. I was most proud of that because I made very intelligent comments which boosted my grade up during the conference. The greatest challenged I had during this project was understand how the actually model U.N. worked. I worked through this by studying the terms and when and how to use them. There were so many really great speeches, and I can’t just choose one.
The model U.N. project was about learning how to solve worldwide issues currently at hand today. This was also about how we as individuals would personally solve these problems. In some cases we would look at it through our countries view. It was also to show us and educate us to fully understand the world issues we went through.

Brazil Policy Paper
While Brazil and North Korea are brothers in trade, although Brazil views North Korea holding nuclear weapons as unneeded and dangerous therefor the U.N. should propose conference with North Korea to resolve the issue. Brazil looks towards more a more peaceful action to resolve the issue, so Brazil wants to strengthen sanctions already placed on North Korea to help their country in the long run.
Many countries view North Korea having nuclear weapons as dangerous but Brazil wants to resolve the issue in a more peaceful manner. North Korea has been face with the situation of other countries disagreeing that North Korea should have the right to hold or create nuclear weapons. The recent trading treaty between North Korea and Brazil has strengthened the two countries relationship with each other. This new strength between the two countries influences Brazil to try and find a more peaceful way to resolve the North Korean nuclear weapons issue. Brazil is influenced in this way because they don’t want to hurt there relations with North Korea because they are making more money trading with North Korea.
Brazil wants to take action on the issue with a more peaceful resolution to help North Korea become less isolated and open up to more trading partner. This would help because Brazil urges tighter sanctions already placed on North Korea to make them realize that they have to give up in order to make sure that their country keeps moving forward. By doing this hopefully North Korea will give up their nuclear weapons stockpile which would open up more trade partner to give its economy more wealth and provide more support to its citizens. Brazils view on this situation is very intelligent because if it was to work, it would benefit many countries. If this was to be resolved in a more peaceful manner it would open up North Korea to many new beneficial technologies for its country and would strengthen more trading partners. If North Korea was to strengthen more trading partners it would bring more wealth to the country and to other countries as well.

Policy Paper
Although Israel is not considering the withdrawal of settlers in the West Bank, Brazil is strongly urging Israel to withdraw settlers to make one state for Palestine and still keep Israel in the same place. After WW2 Jewish refugees had flocked to what is now Israel. The refugees had come to what was once Palestine illegally and started to crowd the country. The Palestinian people had been living on this land for more than seven hundred years, so they were immediately threatened and attacked the Jewish people. In the war of 1948 the Palestinian people and other Arab countries lost the war and then most of the Palestinian people became refugees. To this day the Palestinian people have been living in exile for sixty five years. There has been much conflict between the two because of the recent construction of Israeli apartment complexes and homes in the West Bank. These new buildings have increased the level of conflict in the west bank. Israel people say that these new buildings are there to push the Palestinian people to realize that they have no choice to sign a peace treaty in order to stop settlements in the west bank. This is only making matters worse. The Palestinian people feel cornered and are fighting back. Brazil is urging Israel to give some land back to the Palestinian people to lessen the amount of conflict and produce a Palestinian state. This solution will work better because it will lessen the conflict between each side and make the Palestinian people more happy with what they now have, and will also construct an official Palestinian state.
Brazil has argued that Israel should take away sanctions held on Palestinians and to make Palestine an independent state. Brazil has also argued to the general assembly that Palestine should be a full member of the United Nations. Brazil’s neighboring countries have seen little political risk in helping this pass. Brazil has pushed to end the blockade of the Gaza strip. They also want Palestine to become an independent country within the borders of 1967, with Jerusalem as its capital. Brazil would like to achieve this goal but is willing to come to a consensus with the international community. Brazil is willing to let the blockade of the Gaza strip go on but in trade of a newly founded state of Palestine. Brazil is not willing to put sanctions on Israel to push them to come to an agreement. They are also not willing to put military power in this matter, because there is no reason to produce more conflict in the Middle East. Brazil would talk to the Security Council if there was to be an escalated amount of conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people before considering any military involvement. If any country who had signed the agreement to push for a Palestinian state were to violate this agreement they would be immediately kicked of the alliance involved in this agreement. Brazil will also be supporting Palestine’s full membership application when it comes to a vote at the Security Council.
Resolution Paper
Pointing out that sanctions placed by the U.N. on North Korea have not succeeded in abolishing its nuclear weapons stock pile.
Noting that Brazil is so called “brothers in trade” with North Korea, Brazil totally disagrees that North Korea should have the right to hold Nuclear weapons. Otherwise Brazil keeps it sights to continue trading with North Korea.
Brazil views wants to urge more peaceful actions on DPRK because we want to keep peaceful relations with DPRK to keep a healthy trade with this country, and we would want to resolve the situation without violent/military force.
I believe that security council and the General Assembly should take it upon themselves to look at Brazils opinions on what should be the initial action on the North Korea nuclear weapons situation below.

Brazils Resolution Paper
Unfortunately peace has not been reached by the tactics used by both sides has not solved anything, but Brazil is believe that if Palestine would become a single independent state would lessen the conflict. Brazil has pushed the General Assembly to create a single independent state within the borders, but if that doesn’t work Brazil has proposed a list of solutions down below.
1. Urge the General assembly to push for a two state solution, where the Palestinian people will have an independent sovereign state of their own.
2. Brazil wants Palestine to be a full member of the General assembly to understand what is truly going on, and what they can do to stop it.
3. Brazil will kick of any state that violates the agreement that they signed to help the Palestinian people achieve an independent state.
4. Brazil also pushes for a stop to the Gaza strip. This will make it so that Palestinian people can at least get jobs in Israeli territory. This will also help both sides work together in future conflict.
5. If there were to be any escalate of conflict between the two sides, Brazil would confront the Security Council before using its own military to control the conflict.
I would tell that other student about how it helps us understand more about world problems and how to solve them efficiently. It will tell him/her this to help them understand what and why we did this project. I will also show why worldwide problem solving is important.

Socialization About Class
In the American society today males are being socialized about class in both positive and negative ways. In this economy class supposedly shows how much better you are. Inside your class you are supposed to do certain things like hang out with certain people. The way you are socialized about wealth and class are both good and bad things, it just depends on where you learn it from. I have been socialized about class positively and negatively in certain ways.
How class depicts how you act and how people see you. The class you are born into depicts who you become later on because of the people that surround you and what they influence you to do. Class pushes you to hang out with certain people, like in my own experience at school some of the more popular kids are more wealthy kids and are socialized from my own opinion to hang out with other wealthier kids. Being born into a lower class family you are viewed as a worker and you sort of get less respect than a wealthier family, when you are part of a wealthy family and since you already have money people see that as being hard working and that you deserve more money.
How working hard helps you deserve more money and respect. Since I was born into a middle class I have been socialized that working hard makes people realize that you have more potential and they give you a break, like giving you a raise or a promotion. Also working hard makes others think that since you work hard you deserve more respect because of how you made it to where you are. In my own experience I’ve seen the effects of hard work in my family by just maybe a year ago my parents finally paid off our house, and now we have more time to do more traveling and do more fun activities.
How I was socialized about class. Being born into a middle class working family I was taught that I had to work harder to get a better pay. My family also taught me that having more money doesn’t matter as much, and it only matters on how much you love your job. Also as a male in the American society I’ve been socialized that having more money and having a bigger house would mean that more people would like you more because of all your money, and that I needed to work harder and gain more money to be more liked as a person.
What class means today in America. Class in America today is not as you think it is, usually you would think that even a more poor family is still ok, but according to a video I watched in my class that the richest of America have so much money that that one percent of people can fill up everyone’s pocked in America with 2000 dollars and with the amount of wealth they have even the middle class and more wealthy families are struggling more than ever. The one percent of the people that own that much wealth haven’t really worked that hard, most of them are singers or have made electronic items, or own large corporations that make money with poor decisions. With this much wealth in their hands even the American economy is falling downhill.
As a guy in the American society I believe that I have been negatively and positively socialized in many different ways. I believe this because of how my family and my surroundings have taught me how class is important in many different ways. Overall I believe that me has a guy should work hard to make

Socialization Reflections
1. During the mask project I am most proud of my mask. I am most proud of it because of how I took my time on how I painted it and how I planned out what the symbols meant. I am also most proud of this because of how much I like painting.
2. “My family also taught me that having more money doesn't matter as much, and it only matters on how much you love your job.” I am most proud of this because I truly believe that this is the key to success and I just believe in that so much. I believe in this because I know what it feels like to like going to school and being interested compared to being totally bored because the teaches doesn't teach us in an enjoyable way.
3. My biggest take away from my project is probably knowing that I’m supposed to work hard in life. I believe it because there so many jobs that require you to work harder than the others in order to succeed. And for me to work hard I need to commit to my job and make it enjoyable.
4. For this project I think I should have you refinement more. I think that because I know that my essay could have been much better, but I wasn’t pushing myself to go back and look over it and changing errors and adding to my paragraphs. I would also use perseverance more to be able to push myself to work harder and change thing.
