final thoughts on global

One of the most meaningful things i learned in global this year was about labels and discrimination. All of which consist of discrimination, stereotype, prejudice, bigotry, racism and scapegoating. An example would be Gareth Thomas who was the first rugby player to come out as gay and how he had to deal with homophobic chants and having other players discriminate towards him. This has taught me to not judge a person by their looks or appearance. Instead meet the person know who they are and what their interest are before i make my assumption about them. Also to not allow my self to be persuaded by other people in how I perceive someone else because this is always hard. Labels and discriminating are human nature we judge everything we see and don't, but i would like to fight that impulse and give everyone a fair chance. As far as the entire year goes i have learned more about my self then I think I ever would have. This class has taught me to be an honest man and to be accountable for my mistakes. I appreciate everything you have taught me Mr. Stewart in the past two year and I wish you a great summer and better living.
