Themes of WC 100
As I reflect on the semester, the way I viewed the four common themes before my time in WC 100 are still relatively similar. When I think about the four common themes discussed in class I think about how differently our society thinks and perceives things. It is important to remember not to alter what I think about spirituality, women’s issues and rights, sustainability, and social justice because someone thinks differently than I do; WC 100 really confirmed my realization. Discussing these four important topics brings up opinions that differ based on experience, religion, political party, and much more. Although someone’s reasoning behind their opinion may alter my perception, it is important to develop a strong reasoning …show more content…
In the past women did not have the right to vote, they were to work specifically in the household, and were seen as weak. Some issues still occur today like women being discriminated for doing a “man’s job.” This topic constantly sits in the back of my mind, now more than ever after completing this class. I believe women are just as capable to participate in a workforce that they are underrated and belittled in. It does not help that the President-elect of the United States harrasses and thinks similarly as the rest of our society. Gender equality needs to be taken into action and harassment needs to stop. While trying to achieve my career goal of being a nurse, I cannot help but think about how nursing is typically a female profession and doctors are generally a male profession. I found a comment very intriguing from the Gender and Supportive Co-Worker Relations in the Medical Profession. “Supportive interpersonal relationships at work have been clearly documented as significant predictors of many important work-related outcomes, such as job satisfaction and earnings (Kay and Wallace, 2010), as well as broader outcomes such as mental and physical health (Ducharme and Martin, 2000)” (Wallace, …show more content…
I did not know much about social justice until I attended WC 100. It taught me to not take sides, like in my debate. It also taught me that many people have very different, unique beliefs. As for social justice, I believe our country does a great job providing equal opportunities for different classes. Many people most certainly disagree with me and I may be biased because of my social situation, therefore this is a topic that is similar to the rest of the themes. Citizen’s opinions differ greatly and there is generally no wrong answer.
After reading the “Does Social Justice Knowledge Matter? Education for Sustainable Development and Student Attitudes,” there was an experiment done to see if sustainability effects student’s attitudes. “Results of this study of sustainable development students indicate that accuracy of knowledge of US standing on social justice issues is significantly related to important student attitudes toward some ESD policy goals” (Westerman et al. 572).
Stated previously, these topics have varying opinions. I do not have the right answer to spirituality, women’s issues and rights, sustainability, and social justice. I do not believe any human does, but I have really appreciated the discussions, information, and learning about other people’s beliefs in WC
