Wave Reflection

The movie the wave effected my thinking. It did this by making me realize how easy it is to be manipulated by a group. In the movie the teacher creates the Wave and people join it for power and to feel special. This was all an experiment to show the students why people joined the Nazis.

Capstone Reflection

My favorite speaker, so far, is  Sheldon Wasserman. He was my favorite speaker because he was entertaining and gave a good message. His message was “if you work hard, you can accomplish what you want.” This was a “heart” moment because it inspired me. It was inspiring to me because I want to be an NBA player when I grow up. This inspired me to work harder at basketball. It was also a “head” moment because it taught me to face antisemitism, one of the things you can do is act like you don’t care. When he was campaigning and knocking on people’s doors, he faced anti-semetic comments. He responded by saying something like “I don’t need your vote”. I also had “feet” moment because we both like to learn new things. He was definitely my favorite speaker, and I connected to him.
