Being Informed
In the last formal class we had, on Wednesday, we talked
about the ramifications of the gay gene. To be honest I never even heard about
an idea such as that until I walked into class that day. The science of
sexuality and gender is something I don’t feel people are as informed about as
they should be. As the reading has been stating; science about the body and
gender have been going on for quite some time. Scientist have been proving and
disproving each other about topics, such as the comparisons between men and
woman, for several years. Since we live in a world where information is so easily
attainable I feel us as not only a country but as a nation should work on
informing people about the topics around them. Many people only see sexuality
and gender discussed on the TV, which usually means people are seeing a very
one sided bias' that may or may not be true.
Perhaps we could offer more informative classes within not only the
college atmosphere but also high school. I think people are looking for answers
nowadays and I think we have to figure out a way to find good credible
information for them.
