Blog 15

Taking this class was a good opportunity for me. I learned so many things throughout the semester that I just can not seem to pick my favorite one. I enjoyed all of the topics especially chapter 15, which tells of the working to support themselves and their families. There are a lot of single parent homes in the United States. Which I find it quite hard to believe, because you think that most people have a two parent household. The chapter that discussed smoking was another interesting topic. I was shocked to see how many women smoke and put their children in danger for the actions they choose to do. And one other topic that I had interest in was the one discussing rape. I was shocked to see that many women do not report rape. I was surprised to see that many of the young girls from Thailand and Vietnamese all do prostitution at an early age. I feel I am very lucky to live in the country that I live in.
