What did I Learn this Year? (Final Reflection)

I learned A LOT this year! There's so much I could go on and on about this class that made it so much fun! But, to focus on one central idea that was better than the rest? I'd have to say it was the case studies we watched, specifically the Misogyny documentary. As a whole, the documentaries at the end of the year were really eye opening but the Misogyny one in particular was really the one that left an impression, the most powerful in my opinion. It's ridiculous how our view of women is so twisted and skewed because of the media, how women are merely objects for men to take advantage of. Whether it be a simple commercial to the "ideal" expressed in TV and movies, women are made to look like something they're not. This want and need for perfection has driven women to extremes that in their eyes, is the right thing to do. Overall, I'd say that this class has really made a difference in me as a student and as an adult soon to go out in the world, to a completely different country where I won't know anyone or how to conduct myself there. I believe that this new experience known as college will also lead me to different conclusions about Misogyny, how women are viewed in a whole different country!
