Final Thoughts

I have learned so much in this class. I think more than anything I have not changed my opinions on certain issues but I am able to say that I have a deeper understanding now of these issues and have understanding of why people may think the way they do, for example gay marriage. I still disagree with gay marriage, but I have had my eyes opened more to their side of the story and have more empathy for them, even with disagreeing. I am glad to have had my eyes opened to the health care system and the politics and power that influence everything from health care to our food. I am glad for not being naive about it anymore. I have already made a change toward the way I eat and where I choose to buy my food. For the most part I will not support people who are for profit and not the benefit of animals and people. I cannot think of any other changes I am making or will be making, I think I am just more aware, and with this new awareness I can now live my life differently then I did when my blinders were on.
