1.How has your perspective changed since the beginning of the class?
Most definitively my perspective changed since the beginning of the class. I will say that I became more aware regarding the ways in which gender is created, maintained, and how it is changed through cultural expectations that is why is varies with different culturesand interaction. This plays a huge part in the way we all communicate because we all participate in helping creating norms, and expectations. Not only that ,but I also learned about how the expectations create in society are very limited and it exclude some people that identify differently. Moreover, I learned how society has create social assumptions/ stereotypes that has dehumanize and devalue women opinions and other minority groups
- What will you take away from the course?
My biggest take away from this class will definitively be the information learned from pears and all the readings. I will leave this class understanding that gender and communication are a programming that starts evolving from when you a kid until you die; It is installed in your brain. We all learn how to identify ourselves and others by how others communicate with us. I understand that it is a programming that can be change and educate and that the world can change for the best. The world is not just men and women; it is men, women’s and other. As the future generation, I know that we can change stereotypes, and the way we create gender all for a better world.
3.How did the format of the class affect your learning and your motivation?
The format of the class was great sometimes it can get difficult, but the professor seems to be very considerable. It really keept me motivated with the readings and the comments from my pears. Thank you, professor, for this wonderful experience.
