My Final Reflection

As I looked back on what I first posted- the main theme of that post was being through difficult times and to be strong throughout the tough times. Since learning about sociology, I have absorbed information about culture, social class, and race. I am now more aware of what is going around me. The way I have grown up I now know is because of the people that I have been surrounded by. I have also been more aware of how different genders view themselves. It is very important to know this because the media has shaped both boys and girls to become a certain way just because their role model looks like that. After watching the movie Crash. I have become also more aware of race. The implicit racism is held by everyone whether you know it or not. This class has definitely opened my eyes to the society I live in today. I have also explored other cultures. By having former students come in and talk about their adventures in the real world has made me interested in studying abroad. It is certainly something I will look into doing my junior or senior year of college.
