What We Talk About When We Talk About Guns

What we talk about when we talk about guns reflection

With so many perspectives and ideas coming together to try to work cohesively, this project has been a whirlwind. Through this project my perspective has remained fairly constant. I came into this project as someone who dislikes assault style guns. I grew up in a family that hunts, meaning we had guns. This was something that I was comfortable with because I knew that the guns were being used in a careful and specific way, and they were not assault rifles.

​During our class discussions I would be very heated and passionate about my dislike of assault weapons. I would have to consciously make an effort to contain myself when talking about assault weapons. Those are the guns that I had most of a problem with. My views would be challenged frequently when discussing these types of weapons in class.  Because there were so many different perspectives being shared in this project, it was a challenging task to incorporate as many voices as possible.


We chose to make this exhibition one that showed information and facts without being highly biased. In this project I took a leadership role. I was part of a team who planned almost all of the exhibition. In this planning we had to conscientiously make sure that all voices were being heard. Along with planning, I formated all of the profiles displayed in the exhibition as well as assisting in the activism room. I felt that while there were many ups and downs in this project, it came together to create a strong, informative, and interesting exhibition.
