Tolerance inclusion and respect – PSE Unit Reflection

This unit has been very interesting. Some topics were harder and made me more uncomfortable than others. I think it is such an important topic because it’s such a recurring issue in the world and it’s gotten to the point where women do not feel safe walking alone. They have to take precautionary actions before they go anywhere or do something. It saddens me that a woman has to be careful because if she isn’t, she is blamed for not having done anything to protect herself.

Hearing about these issues makes me sad and angry, and I wish that all the awareness that is spread about them would have prompted more of a change, and unfortunately, it still happens and way too often.

It might be the worst feeling that I experience on a day to day basis. However, I do try to act genuinely like myself when around people, and to not act fake towards them so that people know me for the real me and base their opinions of me on who I really am. That being said, I try to always act kind and be as helpful as I can. If I don’t know someone, I can be really quiet, but if they gave it a chance, i get comfortable after a while and I become easier to talk to.
