People have come a long way in our society to overcome gender issues. I do feel that sexism still widely occurs and unfortunately will for a very long time. Fortunately, it is not at the level as it is in many countries around the world where there is a fear of change. Our society is ever growing and expanding allowing women to be more prominent. Women have came a long way in achieving high status in both the economic and political worlds. Though this change is great, sometimes things are takin to an extreme. In my opinion, football will always be a sport played by big, burly men; not women. Women do deserve as much rights and respect as men in almost every area. I believe that it will take more patience and education that still believe against this. Extreme women's rights groups seem to be too determined to make females more dominant than a male, rather than seek equality. Equality of genders will be a very hard feat to accomplish, but should be the main goal.
As to my expectations of this class. I am always nervous coming into an english class because it has never been one of my best subjects. I am looking forward to learning to become a better writer to be able to communicate at an educated level. I have always enjoyed reading but have never been great at discussing those topics. I believe coming to this university shows that i am all ready prepared for a challenge. This is a very important subject, and the platform behind it, that will make for a better, more rounded education.
