Project+Reflection

Reflection Description

This project was very challenging and yet very fun. I enjoyed learning about the weddings because I always dreamed about weddings after seeing many of them all over the media. It was a daunting process because there were so many directions that I could take the project. I began with the idea that I was going to compare and contrast the differences of the gender roles in the wedding ceremonies of different cultures. But less than an hour into researching about it, I realized that that topic was too broad and too much information to focus on in the time that we had. I then decided that focusing on the American wedding by itself was the most appropriate because I am most likely going to have a wedding that is traditionally “American”. Then, there were so many directions in which I could go from there. Stressed, I researched topics that really captured my interest. I was able to focus on these topics and really dig into the history and timeline of these topics. The editorial paper is not really focused on what my overall project was about because I was still changing my topic. It was hard for me to figure out where to go with my project and the editorial talks about the importance that men have in the wedding process. The research paper is what I really focused on, the timeline of the topics that I wanted to research. The timeline focuses on how the ceremony has developed over time and how it parallels to how people in society have developed over time.
