By submitting this portfolio, I hereby declare that this is my own original work, except for
the “Introduction,” which was kindly provided by my lecturer.
, Introduction
The goal of compiling this portfolio is to share my reflections on the thoughts and issues
that stood out during this unique module. Revisiting the initial opinions I had during the
Crossroads assignment provided an opportunity for me to evaluate how my
perspectives have evolved over time. This portfolio presents my current views alongside
my original ones, with brief notes on the reasoning behind any changes or consistency
in the section titled: "Reflecting at the Crossroads!"
Following this reflection, I offer some key insights about the module and highlight the
issues that had the most significant impact on me.
Reflecting at the Crossroads!
1. “The assets of the three richest people in the world match the combined
annual GDP of the 48 poorest countries.”
My stance on this statement is best expressed by:
o a. Good for them – they worked hard for their wealth
o b. I’d be okay with this if that wealth were in my hands instead
o c. No problem here – many of these people contribute large sums to
charity
o d. I believe it is morally wrong for anyone to have that much wealth
o e. There should be active steps to correct this unjust wealth imbalance
Current Choice: D
Initial Choice: D
Reflection: It’s deeply concerning that a few individuals can accumulate such
vast amounts of wealth while a significant portion of humanity suffers in poverty.
Yes, they may have worked hard, but I strongly believe they have a moral
