Class Experience
My experience in this classs was definitely worth wild. The fact that the entire class was focused on making a differenve in one community ( the Carrboro community) was quite intriguing and unexpected. It was definitely rewarding and satisfying to get the chance to view how our influence can have a positive influence in the community. The discussion of a "Decent Society" was one of the most interesting discussions that we had in class. The amount of ideas that students came up with was amazing. However, the most engaging discussion was when we talked about our personal experiences with human rights violations. I described my own experience in Tanzania when my rights were clearly being violated. I was discriminated because I was Black in a Black country. This was contrary to conversations that highlighted how certain races discriminated against other races. All in all, I intend to take the lessons I've learnt in this class and apply it to the real world.

This class has been very influential and a great learning experience. I must admit at first I was thinking what kind of class is this that I signed up for, but after the first two days and speaking witht he residents in Abbey Court I realized that this class was more than a class but a learning experience that I needed to have. I learned about another culture, that I probably would not have learned about otherwise. My favorite part of the class was the day we talked about how our social rights had been violated. It was a small class and it made it very intimate and it was as if we were friends sharing stories instead of classmates talking out loud about situations. We were able to laugh and get to know not only our students but also get to know the funny woman that Professor Blau is. It was a great class and a great learning experience, I will no doubt recommend this class to others so that they can share in the experience that I had.
