A Reflection


Honestly it was hard for me to only pick ONE thing from this class that I am taking with me.  Overall I feel that this is a great class to end my college career with and know that especially the perspective of how we took apart science, rhetoric and politics will stay with me throughout my life.  I thought it was a great way to look at science through a cultural perspective, a stark difference from the hard core, narrow minded, science classes that I am accustom to.  



I think one of my favorite days in class were the poster projects.  I can say for a fact I will never again drink orange juice or eat Oreos in the same way again!  I appreciated the different perspectives that were addressed in the different issues brought up.  Is golden rice a good thing or a bad thing? What should be done when addressing the issue of genital mutilation.  I will always remember Robin putting our project group in the spotlight when he asked well "could sex reassignment surgery also be considered also a form of genital mutilation?"  But this is what this class has done; caused us to question and stretch our way of thinking, and to look at the full multi-fasciated side to different topics in science and culture.  Posed hard convoluted questions with no straight answers, with the always popular "so is this dangerous to the public?".  

This class has made me realize how important science affects our culture, in ways that I had never thought about.  Before this class I had never looked at so many different topics in such a critical way; what really determines a person's sex?  

I appreciated our discussions and the many different points of view that were brought in, I think that we can all agree that our ways of thinking were challenged in a good way.  I will miss the snarky comments (that mostly came from Jacque) and everyones passion for different particular topics or Ben's way of getting worked up and almost bouncy with excitement over where the discussion was going.  A THANK YOU to all of you, I feel that we had a great class and especially in the blog posts, we a chance to get to know everyone.  Good luck in where ever you all end up it has been fun :)
