Brexit Reflection

Throughout the semester, my group covered Britain’s vote to leave the European Union and the effects it had both nationally and globally. Our first blog post was mostly an introduction into the topic. We discussed what the European Union is and what some of the underlying causes of the Brexit vote are. We also introduced what we would be discussing in further blog posts. In the second blog post, we discussed the economic impacts of the departure of Britain from the European Union. This included the fall of the British pound against the United States dollar and how it will negatively affect prices. In our third blog post, we discussed the cultural impacts of Brexit, including how it will impact refugees and immigrants negatively.

As a group, we decided what we wanted to focus on for the particular blog posts and what specific aspects we wanted to mention. We then split that up and we each researched our certain aspects and then wrote the respective section of the post. For the research, I mainly searched through credible news websites and found articles relating to Brexit and the certain focus I had for the post. 

After working on this project this semester, I have learned that working in a group does not always have to be that bad. I feel that my group worked together well and we were good at splitting up the blog posts. We all did our portions of the posts on time making everything feel organized and stress-free. In relation to Brexit, I learned a lot more about the topic than I would have without the project. This project made me read articles and keep up with the related news which is something I might not have done otherwise. Overall, I feel that this project was a good experience.
