In both of my diploma writing practice assignments I neglected to connect the Liberal principles I mention to any specific form of Liberalism. In some cases I have even described ideologies without mentioning the actual Ideology such as in my Diploma Writing II when I describe Collectivism. While my work does not reflect any improvement in my naming of these ideologies, I have definitely taken these easily fixed mistakes into consideration for my Diploma Exam and will keep in mind that I need to be more specific on the matter.

In my Source Analysis – Diploma Writing assignment, I make a mistake in explaining my analysis of the cartoon. While I realize now the artist was being sarcastic in his remarks about wealthy capitalists and economic equality, my interpretation at the time reflected a more serious view on the author’s opinion. Images are much harder for me to analyze then a paragraph or essay so in the future I’ll make sure to spend more time reviewing the picture than I did in this situation.

In Diploma Writing II, the concluding sentence of my first paragraph and the first sentence of my second paragraph make it seem as though I am against the PATRIOT Act while my final outlook was positive in relation to the Act. This is, again, a simple mistake on my part in that I got my thoughts mixed up when I was writing. Just to make it clear, the opinion I support in this piece of writing is that the Patriot Act can be considered a positive in some situations.
