This course was my favorite by far throughout the semester. I learned about our social issues that surround us and how they are intertwined together that create one big picture. This course has opened my eyes to how I view the world around me and this project helped with that as well. The videos we watched were very interesting and I wish there was more. I cannot say I had a class before where I really read every chapter and watched the videos from start to finish except for this class. This course was laid out in a way that was easy to follow, learn, and interact with. I hope with my major in psychology, I can try to squeeze in some sociology classes so that I may improve myself in thinking like a sociologist in the world we live in.
I felt as though I connected to the ‘Killing Us Softly 4′, because I never realized how much women were sexulaized in the media as much as they were and are to this day. I plan to look research more to see if the speaker, Jean Kilbourne, will be speaking at any events near Lancaster, PA, in the next few months or year. Watching the evolution and how women were altered and posed for these images were not something that was good for their self esteem and young women’s, but it was interesting to watch the process and evolution.
