 Firstly, the element that struck the most was about communication and conflict maybe
because it was asynchronous classes so we didn’t have any chance to ask the questions and I just
watching the recording alone. I’m just wondering and it’s still stuck in my mind that in a
relationship, communication is the key, but still mostly men chose to be silent and hold all the
dissatisfaction the relationship. Hence, we can see that the consequences of communication
errors in a relationship might risk the relationship's ultimate existence. Moreover, in my point of
view, men, too, need to be honest about how they're feeling and simply accept and feel it. They
should perhaps allow themselves to express those emotions in whichever way feels natural to
them.

Subsequently, the assessment that I satisfied the most is social media campaign execution
because with I discovered that even the simplest things on earth could be turned into something
amazing if we put enough creativity and effort into working on them. Moreover, the most
prominent thing that I realized was the value of working as part of a group. I realized that
effective teamwork is the key to success in design tasks when time and resources are limited.
Many various ideas could be generated because everyone had their own point of view, and I felt
that the energy of group engagement made me feel more energetic about adding anything.

Hence, sociological theories or areas captured my attention was about issues in marriage-
child marriage and force-feeding for marriage. After finished watching the video that you have
provided in the google classroom, my heart torn into pieces because child marriage was a bad
idea that never should’ve been implemented to begin with. This marriage will deprive the girls of
their right to education and future independence.  Marriage is supposed to be a journey with
someone we love, not something to be set up by our parents. I’m shock as well knowing that
their culture, which is contradicts with ours. Almost everyone believes “blood is thicker than
water” means that family is more important than friendships or that family bonds are closer than
friendship. This is especially true because I think the parents or maybe their family oftentimes
make sacrifices in order to protect and save their loved one. As we know, the relationship
between parents and their children is one of the most basic human interactions.

Besides, this topic made me think and feel about my life, and my opinion is early
marriage can be both negative and positive effects. One of the most significant disadvantages of
early marriage is that it inevitably fails, despite the fact that it may be married at the request of
one's parents. Meanwhile, marriage at an early age significantly decreases the probability of an
individual engaging in risky sexual behavior. As a result, both partners to a marriage enter into
the partnership intending to change each other's behavior. Young people are more adaptable and
open-minded than their elders. Based on my own experiences so far, I just had my far cousins
who came to my house talking about marriage and asked my parents but they refused because
I’m still struggling with my studies and just enter to 20 series and did take serious about the
issues of marriages at that time.

Subsequently, it has changed the way I understand the topic because I learned that people
tend to build safety nets when they live in severely unstable situations where it is difficult to stay
fed or plan for the future. Early marriage establishes bonds between families, allowing them to
rely on one another for resources like as food, seeds, and capital. But still, it is not a good thing
because early marriage is a damaging custom that takes away a girl's ability to make important
decisions about her sexual health and well-being. It forces kids out of school and into a life of
limited opportunities, with a higher risk of violence and abuse.

Then, it has affected my personal outlook and life because various influences motivate
each person to do what they wish to accomplish. So do me. I also want to be happy and have a
great relationship that can make me feel as if I have truly connected with another human being.
We will feel like we've found a kindred soul when we meet someone with whom we can connect
on multiple levels. Life, as we know it, is complex and determined by its own perspective. That
is why it is crucial to understand what life is like for each individual. Not the kind of life we have
on a daily basis, but what life is in its entirety. Furthermore, it is also improving the function of
my worldview and way of thinking because it supplies me with knowledge where I can learn
how to build a good relationship, making difficult decisions, and so on.

I think these changes will encourage me to advocate for the topic because it made me to
start think and take the decision to start a family, which requires committing my entire life to
another individual or group of people. Maybe, by expressing my concerns, flaws, and failures
with someone else, I may find that I become stronger than I were before. Consequently, I should
learn how to being independent, learn how to manage the finances accounts and spend the money
wisely. Furthermore, I should have to put the needs of my future spouse and future children
above our own, and thinking of ways to give of time and resources to others than mine only. 
 Last but not least, this course helps me navigate me life better as a Khalifah because I
want to be content with having a beneficial effect on a few people who, in turn, inspire others to
live better lives. I wouldn't say I've figured out life yet, but I do have an inner drive that leads me
to explore the environment around me and why both good and bad things occur. Social situations
make me nervous at times especially when I am interacting with strangers but I am trying to be
very tolerant and understanding with people. This courses also taught me how to boost my
confidence, make the most of social environments, and understand that people aren't perfect, and
that it's their flaws that make them ideal for us. So, I will not judge people easily and try to
understand their situations and there is also saying said “don’t judge a book by its cover”.
