In Man and Society at SWUIC with Bruce this term I
learned many beneficial things!!!
First topic I learned about Class Rules. I think there are too many rules in this course and some rules isn’t necessary such as material 2 blue, 2 black, 2 red pens. For other rules I think it’s OK. Amazing thing I learned in first class is LGBT. I never knew before about LGBT stand for. LGBT stands for lesbian gay biosexual transgender. And there are many things that I learned about myth and abbreviation words for LGBT. For first time teacher taught so fast because I didn’t understand some words and some sentences.
The new thing that I learn is ethics. Teacher give me watching movie about Shattered glass. The story is about journalist who made up the story because he wants to be famous journalist. And I learned about the theories of ethics including Egoism , Utilitarianism , Categorical , Self evident , Justice ,Golden mean , Divine will , Dialogic , and Different voice.
Moreover before midterm exam I learned
about 21st century. It has critical thinking , Information
technology application , collaboration , innovation ,diversity , ect. I learned
many skill that employers want when you apply a job in the future. Teacher gave
me an activity about egg drop. This activity taught me how to solve the
problem, creativity ,and collaboration.
The project I did before midterm exam is Youtube
project. Teacher give me to make video about LGBT. My group choose the topic
about homophobia because I think nowadays the world accept with LGBT more than
the past so you shouldn’t bully or look down people who are LGBT . The things
that I gave from this project are I know how to work together in my group , I
know how to solve a problem that happen
in my group. The important things is I understand about LGBT better than the
past.

Moreover I learned the new thing about religion. I knew origin of each religion,
founder of each religion , major symbols , terms to know of each religion ,
location that people respect and prohibit of each religion. There are many

"How has this course made me a better person?"

better person. This course taught me shouldn’t look down to people who are
LGBT. It has some myth about
LGBT that you should understand.
Media &
society make me know about the revolution of media and teach me that I can use
media for learn , for work , for relax or for buy something. I will use media
in good and right way.

me that I should have moral and don’t lie other people because if you lie ,
someday people will know the truth.
Every occupation want moral people to
collaborate.
