the class comes to an end!

So it’s the end of the semester and classes are finally coming to an end, which means graduation for me!  I first signed up for this class because I thought that it was going to be an easy class that I could fit into my schedule whenever I wanted to actually do work for it.  But to my surprise I ended up doing more work for this class than I did for many of the other ones that I took this semester and throughout my college career.  I did like that I had the chance to blog and watch the lectures whenever I wanted to during the week so that was very helpful to me with my busy schedule.

 

This class has totally changed my outlook on a number of things having to do with pornography.  I have always been very open and comfortable with nudity, sex and pornography but now I feel even more comfortable and ready to talk about it.  A lot of people don’t know what goes into pornography or how much it has helped our society to advance technologically.  This class also taught me a lot of the laws and standards pertaining to the porn industry; it was nice to be able to read other classmate’s blogs to see what they had to say about certain topics we discussed in lectures.  I like that it was encouraged for us to look at other students blogs and write our opinions based on what they said, I like the encouragement to object or agree with others. 

 

I also like all of the videos that we had to watch about the porn industry.  The best video I watched was the front line special on sex slavery.  This really opened my eyes to see what is going on in other countries.  It was appalling to see women being kidnapped and forced to sell their bodies for money, how a countries government lets this happen is crazy, this just shows us how underdeveloped some countries government are compared to the system we have here in the US. 

 

Overall I really enjoyed taking this class and learned a lot of things I am able to share with others to educate them on things pertaining to pornography.  The best surprise of the class was when it was announced that the final was optional…. I could not have been happier!  This class was very interesting and educational, encouraging us students to voice our opinions about every issue we talked about.
