Final Blog
What I will be taking away from this class is a deeper knowledge of what is going on in society. I was always aware of the plus five systems and the oppression of minorities but never in this light. The articles that we read in this class really made me think outside the box about many different issues that occur and how to handle them in a civilized manner. Sometimes I think about the outcome of my life if I was another race or if I was a part of the entire plus five systems, and I know that my life would be entirely different than it is now. Sometimes I think back to articles that we have read and challenge them because I know that all information given in a bias or opinionated article will not give the best facts, but these articles shined light on issues that most people try to cover up the reality that they are happening.
What I will be taking from this class is the knowledge that gender roles are real and that many people try to act as if they would mind if their daughter or niece plays with “boy� toys when in reality they do. Gender roles are making life harder for women in my eyes because all the big corporate roles are said to be for men and if a women is on top of the hierarchy then people will begin to believe she did some unethical things to get there or she just doesn’t deserve to be in that spot. I feel like I have learned the most from this class out of all of my classes that I have taken this semester and I am very happen that I had the chance to experience a gender studies course.
