I don’t think I can say anything about my final philosophy
class that hasn’t already been said or worse yet I don’t think I can say
something without using a cliché. First and most importantly the design of the
class facilitated learning in so many ways. Not just learning the subject
matter but getting to learn one another. I thoroughly enjoyed all the in depth
conversations that took place over the course of the semester and believe that
this was not only more fun but more meaningful to everyone and the lessons
learned from speaking with one another will resonate more than any reading from
a book.
Personally my favorite section of the course was the Native
American section, mostly because I had not had any prior education to them as a
people and what their plight is in the present day. I feel as a people they
still have a great deal to offer Western Civilization and I hope one day as a
people that they and their culture are accepted into society without prejudice.
I had the most fun not only getting to know people within
the class but also writing and telling my own story and hearing the stories of
others. This class gave me the ability to express my own values and learn and respect
others in the process. I’d like to express a congratulations to Dr. Salazar for
undertaking this class in a new bold way, but most importantly making it the
success it was.
