Personal Reflection On Human Trafficking

Reflection

The topic I chose to do for the Personal Application Project is Human Trafficking. I chose to do this project with Matthew Walker and our goal for this project was not to make a huge change in the movement, but rather to spread awareness. The reason we chose to spread awareness rather than implementing a change was because people who would have the power in this situation would be the people higher up such as law enforcement and people in a political office. To spread awareness, we decided to create pamphlets and flyers. On these two things we passed out was a variety of information about human trafficking. The information that we included was the types of trafficking, different statistics on human trafficking, the places where it occurs more often, hotspots, and who is involved such as victims and traffickers. We also included prevention methods, ways to recognize a potential victim, and contact information for people to give tips on if they see something. I enjoyed doing this project; however, it was a bit more time consuming than I had anticipated. Putting the pamphlet and flyer together was difficult because we had to find all of the information and then get it into the correct format. The reason that this was difficult was because the software we were using made it

I learned several things about the topic itself. I knew some stuff about human trafficking from previous classes but having to do research for information to put on our print outs opened my eyes to new information that I was not aware of prior to this project. I also learned that we need to definitely plan things further ahead of time in case of hiccups. We were able to complete this project on time, but had we planned for things that were going to hold us back we might would have saved ourselves from a lot of unnecessary stress. Overall the learning experiences of this project was good, and it could help me complete projects in the
