We’ve reached the end. Every step in the CCA has taught me something, or helped me develop my skills. Throughout the year, this assignment has taught me lessons in business, APS, as well as work ethic. Prior to working on this project I really never thought about connections between anthropology, psychology, and sociology towards the real world. I now really appreciate the fields of APS in relation to how they explain and influence the modern world in today’s age.
The first CCA step shed a new light on business and marketing for me, revealing the underneath workings behind understanding the interactions and relationships between consumers, companies, and any middle-men.
The second CCA step placed a new task in front of me. Understanding and answering questions on an articles reliability and it’s content, although straightforward, was a challenge for me. This improved my familiarity with any similar tasks, such as CCA step 4
CCA step 4 was personally my favorite CCA step to finish. It allowed me to enter a new environment, learn about marketing from a professional perspective, and taught me how to analyze and annotate a peer-reviewed journal. This step really exposed me to the amount of complexity and detail put into each peer-reviewed journal and pushed me to learn more about the subject.
Every CCA step helped me in some way, teaching me a lesson, or allowing me to further develop myself. I’m very thankful that I was able to do this assignment as a whole, as I will be taking my newly learned skills with me moving forward in life.
