So this is my last blog post for social justice! It's been a great experience keeping this blog and checking out all of my classmate's blogs. Coming up with new topics to discuss and share with everyone was really fun, and kept me on my toes in and out of class. For my final blog I think I'd just like to reflect a little bit on what we've done and learned this term.
While we've discussed so many topics and branches of social justice, I think what has been most enlightening was simply seeing how easy it is for anyone to get involved and actually go out there and enact change on the world. We can talk and talk and talk about equality and justice, but it's also so easy to do something about it. I used to be a little bit more intimidated by the idea of social action. It seemed the problems were too big and my voice too small. But, having finished our final group projects and seen everyone else present their work, I see that all it takes is an idea, ingenuity, and team work to turn thought into action.
I'm excited to see how everyone moves forward after this class! It seems like people have a lot of ideas and are ready to go out there and make a change.
