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.

Taking this class is a good opportunity for me also. I had no clue that the class would be interesting. I loved the course so, much that I am going to take another health studies class. Times are changing; several women are able to stand on their on feet; I applaud all women who can take care of themselves and a child by themselves. I think if a person has a child and the marriage isn’t working out for them then it is time to separate and raise the child. Women today are wiser, educated, and more confident. I would have to say don’t let the child suffer in a miserable marriage.
I don’t think women are aware of how harmful smoking is and how it destroys the body. To bring more awareness to smoking is through education. I was surprised also to see how many women don’t report rape also. From our readings, some women feel that if they report the rape then they will be humiliated and raped again by the examination. It was very sad to read about young girls selling their bodies for money to take care of their family members. I only hope and prey that changes will be made. I think changes can be made through education. I chose to discuss HIV/AID’S and living healthier longer lives. Have a great summer. I have enjoyed reading all of your blogs and assignments.
Michelle- I do agree that it was neat to see how many women are entering the workforce. We as women still struggle to run with the boys but it changes a little more every year. The same goes for women that smoke and endanger their children. It is shocking and upsetting but the saddest part is that it does not stop with smoking. The women that drink and do drugs also infuriate me. I guess everyone one is different but if they were in this course and educated about the issues perhaps they would think twice. I know that I will think twice about some things after this class, it was a joy and a pleasure.
I think we all took something very important out of this class. All the topics were very informative and interesting at the same time. I was surprice too to see how many woman would put their own children in danger just because they want to light up a smoke. I was shocked too to here that young girls in Thailand and Vietnamese are prostitiutes I would have never though of thoes two countrys to have prostitution. Well some thing has to be done and we are just the right ones to make an impact by taking what we learn and try to teach others
