Current+Event

Currently I found the current event lessons very informative. I think that they helped to increase my awareness of what is going on around the world. A lot of them caused me to draw the conclusion that here in America, despite the fuss we often make, we have it pretty good. I am grateful to live in a country where my rights are so safely protected. The topics we covered ranged widely, but included some pretty heavy ones. The ones that stick out in my mind are those that touched on: human sex trafficking in Hawaii, female circumcision, breast ironing, and the unfair treatment of gays, lesbians, and trans-genders. I found that a lot of my classmates had similar responses to a lot of these articles, often feelings of shock and disgust. It is very positive that we often tried to discuss possible solutions to these various issues, but it is a bit disheartening to know that many of these situations simply can not be changed.
