Reflective Writing. Approaching Methods of Theological Reflection and Meaning of Life

Essay from the year 2020 in the subject Philosophy - Practical (Ethics, Aesthetics, Culture, Nature, Right, ...), grade: B+, UGSM-Monarch Business School Switzerland, language: English, abstract: This essay illustrates a trajectory of a reflective model using real-life individual experience and leading to action. Reflective writings are well covered in academic and applied works of literature, even though reflection is a social construct subjected to varying interpretations, and no clear consensus on what, and how it should look like. The core meaning of reflection is occasionally contested, even belittled as mere individual self-dialogue. Popular commentary has wondered whether a mere recollection of event on a reflective format leads to any meanings at all. What we do know, is that reflection offers an opportunity to consider how one's personal experiences and observations through critical thinking and acceptance of new ideas.
