Distance Learning

1) Have you changed your opinions or views as a result of this course? Why or why not?

I have definitely changed my views/ opinions in result of taking the course. The views I had before were mainly based on what the mainstream media was telling me. As usual, the media always has intentions and an agenda of it's own. But now I know the real stories behind Title IX, the "obesity epidemic" and fat phobia and more. I used to think that Title IX needed to be changed, but after all the research I did for the debate I believe that it should remain unchanged. Also I honestly did believe that the "obesity epidemic" was real, but now I know that it's just paranoia and that it exists because it benefits the health industry.



2) Complete the following sentence: I used to think — but now I think — .

I used to think that women aspired to be like the women in magazines. To be sexy and seductive and be what men would consider as "hot." But now I think that if they really understood how degrading it is for women to be in that position that they would change their minds.
