My experience in this philosophy class
was a great one, I've never had a teacher require a blog before and I am glad
she did. The fact that we put our thoughts and feelings and knowledge out for
the world to see is kind of exciting, especially since we have heard some good
reviews! I think it was a fun way to write essays and show what we had learned
so far, it might be one of my favorite parts of the class.
I like how
close our class got, how we could share our stories and laugh with each other.
I had fun in this class and am glad that I chose to take it. I feel more
well-rounded and cultured from learning about other religions and ways of life.
I think it’s good to know about other communities other than your own and I had
a really good time analyzing and discussing the books. I feel more culturally
aware after this class because I learned a lot about the way other people live
and their faiths and lifestyles. I liked how we got to try out a small part of
their lifestyles with the challenges and the activities in class.
Overall, this
class has been a learning experience for me. Sometimes I do yoga in my spare
time as well as meditation. I don’t see myself converting or fully joining any
of the religions or lifestyles that we discussed, but I took a little piece of
each and applied them to my life. I think it is important for people to take
this class because in other classes we talk about other cultures but we never
try to fully understand them and try out some of their practices. The teacher
helped by being enthusiastic and funny, as well as understanding and kind. I
hope that the students in this class, along with myself, now have a better
understanding of other cultures and religions and will go out into the world
without discrimination but with open eyes and minds and to embrace the
differences in our communities. We all shared personal stories and pieces of
ourselves in this class and everyone was respectful of one another which I
think is a great accomplishment.
