Reflection
I personally believe that this project has allowed me to delve deeper into the origins of humanity, whilst creating a product that aims to develop people’s knowledge and garner their interest into the history of the world. This project has allowed me to further extend my knowledge and understanding on the rise and fall of the most significant civilizations that have walked the Earth. I was able to gain subject-specific knowledge in History, as well as Product Design, as I used various techniques and materials to create my product.
Prior to beginning this project, I conducted a substantial amount of research, using trusted sources which I thoroughly fact-checked, in order to gain an understanding and a general outlook on what this project might entail. However, I was still oblivious to certain events which took place and what time periods they influenced. This was easily remedied. Throughout the process of research and creating my product, I was able to acquire a profound understanding of historic civilizations, their motives, and what led to their downfall. For example, after exploring the Roman Civilization, I discovered that it has left many traces on the world. Its influence can be seen in the Arts, Literature, and much more.
I enhanced my understanding of the global context Orientation in Space and Time throughout the completion of my project. Focusing on my project allowed me to explore different time periods and monumental occurrences in History which have shaped the world. Through researching different civilizations, I was able to understand how the world works, and what events have resulted in its current state. I am now aware of the conflicts regarding wars, and why they can lead to the rise or fall of civilizations.
