B. Write a two-paragraph reflection of the naturalization process. Use the following questions as a guide:

3. Does the process work well? In other words, does the process achieve its goals?
4. Would you change the process if you could? Explain why you would or why you would not make a change. If you would, include how you would change the naturalization process.
The purpose of the natraulization process is to grant those who qualify U.S. citizenship so they can posess the same rights that you and I have like the right to vote and the right to practice religion freely without persecution.
I feel for the most part the process works well. I think the process could be more efficient, but it does help those to obtain U.S. citizenship. As for now i would leave the process the same because im not sure on the best way to go about making the process more efficient.
