Spotlight on Learning: Is Capitalism Good for the Poor?
Presented by: Ms. Nimmy Sidhu
Course: Economics 12
TEACHER REFLECTION: Students were given the following question “Is Capitalism Good for the Poor?”. They were asked to present both sides of the argument in any format they chose, and to reach some conclusions about where they personally stand based on the evidence they provided. This was quite challenging for some students as there is no complete right or wrong answer and they had to reach their own conclusions. Overall, I think it was a valuable learning experience!
STUDENT REFLECTION: Reflecting on the economics project, I am filled with a sense of satisfaction and a newfound appreciation for the complexities of the subject. The project allowed me to tap into my creative side as I explored new and innovative ways to approach the problem at hand. It was truly enjoyable to delve into the intricacies of the subject matter and to challenge my assumptions and preconceived notions.
Through the project, I was struck by the realization that often, what appears to be good for the world can have a detrimental impact on the poorest members of society. This was a powerful lesson that has stayed with me, and it has left me with a deep appreciation for the importance of considering the ramifications of our actions, both locally and globally.
In conclusion, the economics project was a truly enriching experience that not only expanded my knowledge of the subject but also opened my eyes to the wider implications of our choices. It has instilled in me a sense of responsibility to use my understanding of economics to work towards creating a fairer, more equitable world for all.
