RJA #15: Reflection: "Is Nuclear Power Safe?": ENG 1020

Throughout this semester I have learned several things from this class that I can and will use in the future. The first thing I learned was how to conduct research in such a way that it generates results that I am looking for without a ton of extra nonsense. Then I learned how to structure research in a way that allows me to easily organize me thoughts and then place them into a paper. Finally I learned how to write a great paper that takes information from several different sources and allow one to read it and actually come away with some new knowledge. These are the things I have learned in this class this semester.

This semesters class as also taught me a lot about nuclear power and how it is actually safe to use. It has shown me that while most people hold a negative view on some topics, before that person forms this opinion they need to look in depth on a topic before making this conclusion. If this isn't done then they are just following a generalization on a given topic. Nuclear Power has also taught me that the planet and its people have a solution to solve the ever so close energy and pollution problem. This topic has taught me that I must make informed decisions by doing research and investigating things in detail before making an informed decision. I have also decided after researching this topic that I will no longer follow the opinions of others without checking there sources and information in depth since it typically manipulated to suit their needs. This is what I have learned from Nuclear Power and the principles it helped me learn about how the world works.
