Hello, my name is Jayden Marovich. I am majoring in Biomedical Sciences. I am taking this class as it was one of my choices. I do not speak another language, nor have I traveled outside the United States, but I hope to one day in the future. I want to have fun and meet new people while still getting work done and learning new things in this class. I don't have any pet peeves for class. Something interesting about myself is while in high school, I played soccer and volleyball and hope to continue playing for Grand Valley's club sports.
Hello, Lillie I really enjoyed reading your thoughts especially when you related them to today's society. Women today are held to such high standards and due to that many women find it so hard to love themselves for who they are. I think that woman like Kahlo is so important because it reminds women that it is okay not to be perfect and that other opinions should not matter.
I really enjoyed reading I, Rigoberta Menchu this week as it is a part of history we are not told about in the US especially with it being that of a woman. In our discussion for this book, we talked about how there is a sense of community for these people compared to those who live in the united states. While I found this part of the discussion interesting a part that we talked about that really caught my attention was that the pay system that is pretty much slavery still happens today. I find this absolutely infuriating and so disturbing. I hate that there are people who are not being treated as HUMAN BEINGS, instead of as objects that can work. It has me wondering if there is anything that can be done to help or to raise more awareness of this topic as I just learned about this. Overall, I just find it absurd that a system like this is still around today.
