After interviewing about five people, even if I did or didn't know the information they were giving, I gained some knowledge of peruvian economics, some information being PERSONAL, and other being CRITICAL. After analyzing the results of the interviews I was able to identify very important and interesting information.

Being open to different ideas even if you "think" you have your final choice, is the best way to learn. One of the best methods to come up with other options is by having conversations with other people; the rumor is true, TWO BRAINS WORK BETTER THAN ONE. In order to finalize our idea for the documentary, we had the role to become interviewers and ask as many people as we could questions about $ PERUVIAN ECONOMICS $. The problem is that many people have very little knowledge about economics in general. Mainly, this happens because if you ask someone a question related to economics they FREAK OUT and quickly answer that they have no idea how MONEY works in the country. The truth is, that everyone thinks in one immediate word when mentioning economics: MONEY. MONEY. MONEY . However, economics relates to many issues that Peru is encountering, and that was the whole idea behind the interview, create other possible topics for our films, based on the little or big knowledge from peruvian citizens.B E I N G S E L E C T I V E Furthermore, we had a deep discussion after sharing ideas from the interviews. Other students received different information, and by the hodgepodge of all our ideas we came up with some possible topics for the documentaries. Adding up, being selective and able to identify better ideas than others was really important. At first, it was hard to find the precise piece of information that would give you a final idea for a topic, but after minutes of reflection and interchanging of ideas, topics where developed. This was not only useful because we had a variety of topics to chose upon, but also, because the process was based in critical thinking and begin reflective in terms of important information that had to be included.
