Ethics in Friendship

In this module, we learned that, in Medieval Europe, friendship enjoyed a status not unlike marriage. Vernon writes: “So great was the political weight that such friendships could bear that they could effect changes in much the same way as a marriage” (p. 179). Marriages between friends, kissing, sleeping together, and even being buried together were not uncommon. In places like Africa and Asia, this experience is also not uncommon. Yet, in the West, these actions are confined to interactions within marriages.In at least 250 words total, please answer each of the following, drawing upon your reading materials and your personal insight.

MALTL Reflection

According to the Tuckman and Jensen Model for group processes, the final stage in a group’s activity involves adjourning. In an online course, the last week of activity is a time for reflection and ending the formal group interaction. The same strategy can be applied to the end of a program of study. Therefore, we would like to model adjourning by offering you this space to reflect, debrief, and bring closure to our time together in this course and the MATLT program. To participate in the Reflection discussion, post a media-rich farewell that reflects on your learning experiences in this course and then the MATLT program as a whole. Next, reflect on any design and development challenges you experienced during the creation of your final project for this course and make at least one constructive suggestion for how the final project experience could be improved. Conclude with a reflection on your journey from enrollment to this moment in the MATLT program. You are encouraged to highlight friends, family, instructors or fellow learners and even your Ashford University staff contacts, such as an advisor or librarian, who has contributed to your success! Attach or link your creation to your response.  The reflection might be a brief video, such as with YouTube or VoiceThread, a narrated PowerPoint using Snap!, or a Glogster, or any other media-rich presentation addressing the questions. Remember to cite any graphics, audio, video, and ideas you incorporate into your creation that are not yours. I WOULD PREFER POWER POINT AND THEN I WILL ADD NARRATION.
