While taking this Sport and Gender class I was able to learn
about the similarities and differences between gender and sports. In this class I was able to participate in
class and always able to talk whenever I wanted to. In past classes I didn’t
talk as much, but since this class was so open I was able to talk whenever I
wanted to, which was nice. I would rank this class in my top five for my
college career, and I would say that comes from the open discussions, the
articles, and writing weekly blogs and comments. The online blogs brought a new
mindset to the class, because it enabled me to take what I learned in class and
make me think and form my own opinion into my own words and what I personally
felt.
I really enjoyed our class discussions about equality,
because that was something I was born into and firmly believe. When talking
about this in class, I felt it was important to mention to say, “treat others
how you would want to be treated”, and realize that everyone is the same. I
felt like by commenting on transsexual blogs, and people that come from a
different background blog that I was able to still portray this message and
still get the point across. Although in class discussions could get somewhat
heated when people disagree I think that it’s important to remain level headed
and respect the other persons point of view, and remember that where they came
from is different then how you were raised. The research presentation was
another reason why I enjoyed this class, I got to research about a sport I love
(basketball) and compare the two professional leagues (WNBA, NBA) and see the
differences between the two, and try and find input on how I think they could
both improve. All in all I really enjoyed this class, because we could find a
sense of humor in a tough conversation. I think I remained open minded, and
also helped people around me and in the class remain open minded and respect
others and their point of view.
