A year in review

Over the course of both semesters in Global Connections, we have studied a lot of interesting topics that are very relevant to us and our times. From all the legal case studies first semester to the socio-psycoloigcal concepts that we study and learned about during the Holocaust. Global has opened my eyes to view the world in such a different light. It exposed me to topics like O.J. Simpson, that I had very little knowledge about and expounded upon that knowledge ten fold. I am very appreciative for the opportunity to have taken Global and for the students and teachers alike who made the class so interesting and, at times, controversial. I think that the most brilliant part about the class is allowing us to be exposed to such heavy topics in such an informative and safe environment. This allowed us to begin a discussion and to let us ponder and question our own beliefs. As we have learned to think about what we think about, I hope that in the near future we will further this cause and act in a moral way that is both justice and merciful.
