Action Reflection - Zhenyu

Action Reflection
Prepared by Zhenyu Zhong
The action that I took was to write a letter of request for action to Senator Barbara Boxer. I chose those action because I felt that the Senator is a very influential person and is in a position of power to affect the legislative process, so that she would be able to cause some real change. What I hoped to achieve with this action was at least to inform the Senator of this issue of health and the tactics that some action may be taken to make subtle changes that can affect the way people perceive what kind of choice they make when they order food. I felt that I was successful because I laid out the problem well and some changes that would not take much funding or action, and so I felt that there was a higher chance for action than if I had asked for some large overhaul. This project has gotten me to think about my prophetic role in our world because before I felt that there was not really anything I could change even if I knew about the problem because I am just one person without any credentials or reputation. However, this project has revealed to me that I am capable of influencing change and informing other people of injustices in the world in the hopes of creating a better world.
