This class opened my eyes to a lot of different aspects of the human race. There were a lot of things that I didn't quite understand as far as some motives go or why certain things happen but this class helped clarify those things for me. For example, the essay that is located at the bottom of this page on the left talks about communication styles in relationships. I have never quite understood why some people I knew or was in a relationship acted or responded to things the way they did. However, through the reading, I was able to more fully understand where they are coming from and things that I can do in order to be a better partner in future relationships.
The essay on the left briefly touched on how to handle sexual predators. That seems to be a hot topic quite often. People feel like they should be able to choose the punishments for other people's actions. However, through the reading and through this essay, I was able to more fully think through the pros and cons of different punishments. I feel like I am more educated on why people act the way that they do. I do not think they should be excused for any harmful actions but it does tend to seem like a desire they don't have control over. However, there are right and wrong ways to handle it. This class didn't answer every question I had or challenge every assumption that I had about humanity and sex but it did open my eyes to a more unbiased view of different aspects of human sexuality. I appreciated the opportunity to write so many essays throughout the semester so I was able to think through my new beliefs and find a way to express them. I loved being able to learn new things and alter my way of thinking and share it with those around me. If you are interested in seeing my educated beliefs on different issues, please feel free to scroll through the essays posted below. |
