Reflection

As I have learned from our semester-long personal projects, Nonviolence is not only a strategy for large movements, but it is also a way of life for many. During times such as the civil rights movement, many chose nonviolence because it is a strategy, but also because they lived by this mentality. For my personal project, I chose the topic of "reflection". Over the semester, I would set aside time in my day to relax and think in-depth about certain concerns or issues that I currently had. I found that it not only affected my overall state of mind, but it led to better interaction with others, which has been considered a large part of nonviolence in the past.
