Reflection
In Civics, the main topic that was explored this quarter was state defense. I learned that state defense is the efforts done by citizens to defend their country. Its purpose is to maintain national sovereignty, the nation's territorial integrity and also the safety of the nation from threats, either from the inside or outside of the country. State defense can be divided into three parts, which are political, economical and also military power, and can be done in different ways including civics education, compulsory military, voluntary dedication and also dedication by profession. The major assignment of this quarter was to create a presentation regarding state defense. My groupmates were Alessandro and Rendy and we chose compulsory and voluntary military as our main focus. We explored information about this topic and later presented it in front of the class. I was interested in these topics because state defense is one of the most important aspects of a country and I was eager to learn about it.

Sample Work - Voluntary and Compulsory Military Presentation
Teacher's Assessment
This is my best sample work because I was able to achieve a perfect score even though presenting is one of the things that I am not really good at. This was also one of the major assignments of this quarter and I was able to put my best effort in it.
I think I did well in providing all of the information in the presentation and also show the section title of each part of the presentation. I was also able to present with a clear and loud voice and also explain each part of presentation in detail. This is shown as I got an oustanding score in this assignment.
On the other hand, I can improve it by not reading the presentation but instead try to use my own words so it will look more professional. I also need to make sure that I only put the important things on the slide so that there will not be too much information, which can confuse the audience. I also need to put more effort in decorating the presentation because I did not put any pictures in it and it makes it look monotonous and boring to the audience.
This work develops my understanding of the global context Fairness and Development because I was able to learn about the two different ways of joining the military and also topics relating to this, such as human rights, the relationship between the government and the community, opportunities of the citizens and also peace and conflict in a nation. This is shown as I learned about politics, government and civil society in a country, inequality between the soldiers and citizens, differences between voluntary and compulsory military, human capability and rights of the soldiers, justice, peace and conflict management done by these soldiers, and also the power, privilege, authority, security and freedom that these soldiers have.

Quarter 2
Goals
My goal is to keep on learning about Indonesia, especially about globalization since that is the main focus of this quarter. I hope that I will keep on putting my full attention to the teacher so that I can understand the topic. I also hope that I can cooperate well with my team and also improve my skills in presenting by not reading directly from the presentation slides but instead explaining it with my own words.

Reflection
In quarter 2 of Civics, the main topic was globalisation. There was a project in which my classmates and I needed to create a poster regarding a particular topic relating to globalisation. The class was divided into groups and my group mates were Stella and Albert. The topic that was appointed to us was globalisation in general. We had to research about its definition, the aspects that drive it, its forms and also its importance. I learned that it is the integration of diverse cultures, societies and governments all around the world. Some aspects that drive it includes the scarcity of resources and also transportation. The blending of customs is one form of it. As we started the research, I gained more knowledge about what it really is and I realised that in almost every aspect of our life, we witness the effect of it. An example is that without it, there would not be any imported goods in our country. Overall, I gained a lot of knowledge this quarter because before, I had a shallow understanding of what globalisation is but in the end, I was able to have a deeper understanding.

Sample Work - Globalisation Poster
Teacher's Assessment
This is my best sample work this quarter because my group was able to create an organised and detailed poster. The posters informs its readers about the general concept of globalisation. This poster was the major assessment of the quarter and I was able to achieve a score that was very good even though I did not really understand about globalisation before I started creating this poster.
I think my group did well in explaining about globalisation generally as I included information about its definition, the aspects that drive it, its forms and also its importance. I think we were able to make the poster look attractive by using artistic fonts and also providing some illustrations. I also think that I did well in presenting the poster because I used a loud and clear voice. I also did not read the poster which made me look more professional.
I can improve by making the poster look more appealing and eye-catching. This is because I think that the poster is not very artistic and there are still several blank spaces. I think that I need to add more decorations and illustrations.
This sample work relates to the global context Globalisation and Sustainability because I learned about globalisation this quarter. I learned that all of the people in this world are connected with each other. I also learned about the relationship between local and global processes. I learned that due to technology, trade, fear of other nations and transportation, globalisation can happen. I also learned that globalisation could happen in world economy, customs around the world, and also the defence of countries. This shows that I learned about diversity, commonality and interconnection.
