Reflection:

I did not find this assignment difficult at all because there is always a way to change things for the better in the world. If there wasn’t, then there would no entrepreneurship. It is just a matter if anyone would take the first step to change the way things are, or if it is worth it to change those things that “bug” people. This assignment definitely has helped me think about the challenges that we face in our daily lives that we have been exposed to, but never has thought deeply about. .
