Today while the London A-Term students and teachers were spending time in London, we encountered the Put It To The People march which was organized and led by those in opposition of the Brexit deal. While witnessing this march, I managed to film several parts of the protest which included large amounts of people chanting, walking together, and holding signs. This was an eye-opening experience as it made me realize the importance of free speech, and made me feel grateful that locations such as America and The United Kingdom allow their people to exercise their right to expressing what they believe. This experience fulfills the action aspect of CAS, as several other students and I were walking along the streets near Parliament, and the following learning outcome: recognize and and consider the ethics of choices and actions, as viewing the protesters made admire them for fearlessly choosing to express themselves on behalf of their beliefs.
