What I took from the class...oftentimes I get caught up in my own world. I think that the world only consists of my friends, my family, my problems, etc. This is a selfish perspective, but it is one that many of us naturally fall into.

This class made you stop and question. It made me critically evaluate my life and where I fall in relation to others. This class made me respect and appreciate others via assigned reading and discussion shared in lecture and discussion sections. I am really happy I took this class and would recommend it to others (=
