what role that philosophy or belief system will have when executing your future goals,
Purpose:
Professional blogs are increasingly used by experts to express, illustrate, and integrate core values, ideas, and explain these to a wider audience. It is a way to connect to others based on what you identify as important.
The goal of this assignment is to reflect upon, integrate, and share how your personal life experiences have led to you have a life philosophy/value system/set of ethical beliefs about poverty, social justice, and global health. We want you to focus on what role that philosophy or belief system will have when executing your future goals, whether personal, professional, or political. This assignment is likely quite different from the type of paper you have written in other courses. In most papers, you should avoid writing in the first person, that is, you should avoid using “I think…” or “I believe…” The point of this assignment though is for you to write in the first person, in a professional manner. This type of writing is what is required in Personal Statements or Statements of Purpose, which are often required for scholarship applications or graduate school applications. Thus, this assignment should serve a purpose beyond helping you to develop intellectually; it is basically a (edited) draft of an important piece of writing that you might needs as you move into your life beyond this class. It can reflect where you come from, where you are, and must indicate where you are going in your professional life, integrating this with what you have discovered through the course.
