Final Reflection

  Skylah Nix  12/8/2023 I had a lot of fun and learnt a lot of stuff this semester. In the beginning of the semester, I thought this class would be hard and I was afraid of doing bad and not understanding the work. But with help from the professor the work was easy, and she explained in great detail what we had to do. I enjoyed writing a research paper on a topic that I enjoyed learning about. It made me feel more excited to go to class and it made the material more interesting. I enjoyed watching the small video clips and articles and then having discussions in class. The whole class was engaged on the topic, and everybody was participating.  I learnt a new writing style and I can’t wait to learn more stuff. I thought looking for articles using the John Jay Library would be difficult but thanks to my professor I learnt that it was quite easy to navigate, and it has so many books and articles you can read.

He was only 11 years old when he committed murder was tried as an adult. This case changed the history and sparked controversy on if it's ethical to send kids and teens to adult prison. A large amount of society believes that kids shouldn’t be sentenced to adult prison because they are young, and it sounds inhumane. However, some people believe that kids and teens who commit crimes should go to adult prison because if they do the crime then they serve the time. The...
