Reflection2

In the conference, I talked about my problems in giving a title to my report. I first wanted to write my issue as discussing psychological poverty. However, my annotations deviated from it. To read my annotations again, I seemed to find out some connections between them. In annotation1, annotation3 and annotation4; all of them talked about poverty problem with power groups. In these three annotations, they pointed out some problems that caused poverty. For example, exploitation and the imbalance rights and power between the poor and the government or the power group like middleman and rebel army. I have to organize these three annotations with the issue about poverty and imbalance rights. However I could not find a good connection between my annotation2 with others. Professor asked me to read some comments from classmates. Cheryl gave me a comment as follow: ‘Here the “cause” (experiment) and effect (people’s self- perception) let we know that difference between 'the rich' and 'the poor'? No, it was the way that the researcher controls participant's psychology’. She here gave me a new point to think about the relationship between the cause and the effect. Research controlled participant’s mind and made them to feel poor. Because participants knew nothing about the research, if I regretted their innocent as the poor did not understand that they were exploit by others, and used researchers’ control and design toward the research to express the concept about power group control the rights and forces the poor to work or even live, as they wanted. By this way, maybe I can connect my four annotations in the same issue.
