1. Politics, Power & Resistance Continuous Analytical Reflection Nazira Jamal - Eddine

2. I have a story to tell you 3. Actually I have three 4. Introduction It is a rare occurrence for me to ever enjoy an assignment, particular at this time of the semester. Yet to my complete and utter surprise I found myself eager to begin this analytical reflection with the hope of demonstrating how well I connected with and understood the weekly units. Three units specifically resonated with me, and even though they encompass many similar concepts, each unit represented a different aspect of my life and so I found it extremely difficult not to include them in my reflection. My hope is that this analytical reflection efficiently demonstrates the skills I have acquired throughout this unit, and my ability to critically analyze, interpret and evaluate a range of academic resources in the Politics, Power and Resistance unit. 5.
