Final Exam - Distance Learning

Complete the following sentence: I used to — but now I will — .

I used to think that as a nation we had come so far along when it comes to racism and sexism, but now I will take a whole different look at the world around me. I used to think that compared to where we were as a nation about 20 to 30 years ago we had come so far and that we had nearly wiped out all racism and sexism; however, after this class I have come to learn that, although we have had great movements, we still have a ways to go in regards to women overcoming a great sexism barrier, and minorities overcoming racism barrier.

If you could share one idea from this course with others, what would it be, and why?

If I could share one idea from this class it would be to have more people be more aware of the lack of women participation in sports, specifically in college. I would like to be able to share the information about Title IX with everybody and have them realize how few women teams and women athletes there are compared to men teams and men athletes. I want to make more people more aware because it's one step towards making our world more equal. As we become more aware of this inequality women will have more of a freedom in the world, something so many of us want.

Thank you for a great semester! I have been recommending this class to all my friends!
