The idea of a "forever partner" has really stuck with me. Putting friendship before marriage :)

Being someone who is LGBTQ+ this was a topic I was very much looking forward to. In particular I really enjoyed reading "Let us Buy Cake" and "My Fathers Journey."

The stories were very interesting. I got to learn about how these families ended up in poverty but also why it is difficult for them to get out of that situation. What struck me about this reading is the positive attitude that they had and also the loving relationship that presented in each families despite their situation.

Before learning about divorce in this class, I had thought that divorce was a very likely outcome of marriages not just in the US, but globally. But after learning more about the true statistics and how generalized and taken out of context those broad statistics about how common divorce was, really changed my perspective. Not only did it get me to understand divorce isn't as likely as I previously thought, it also gave me a reminder of to be mindful of information, take it with a grain of salt and ask myself if this can be taken as trustworthy.

I enjoyed reading $2.00 a day a lot. Get to learn a lot about the daily struggles that many low income family faces

Really enjoyed being passionate about learning with Bodice Ripper Sex Ed and talking about the reform of sex ed in America. The action steps planned helped me reach out to others of similar experiences. :)

I really enjoyed watching the Consent Tea video during this chapter. I think it is an informative and fun way to learn about consent. This chapter also included a lot of articles that were very eye-opening and helped me better understand different views on the subjects.

A recurring topic that was brought up in multiple projects was sex-ed and I really enjoyed hearing all the different perspectives on it. We all agreed that the system definitely has to change for the better of society. There needs to be discussions about consent, the LGBTQ community, birth controls, and etc.

Being adopted this touched home with me. This was super interesting to me and I even learned some more things I didn't know before! It really shows that family isn't entirely decided on blood.

There’s so much responsibilities that comes along with raising children. It’s emotionally and intellectually draining and many people do not realize that.

Migrant families are, perhaps in tandem with divorce, among the most litigious-dependent groups we have discussed through this course. I would hope to apply some elements of the discussion of this course when considering political concepts and candidates, and in viewing and reviewing policy here and abroad.

We have definitely seen a shift in gender roles within families. Our discussion and the articles about stay-at-home fathers shows that the caretaking responsibilities are no longer just on the women

The article about it being awkward talking about sexuality with children was very interesting. Children sometimes have a hard time understanding these concepts and become curious at young ages. When parents are unwilling to explain they instead learn about them from sometimes not great places.

We have seen a change in the workforce where now women have jobs in the same place that were once considered a "mans job". Its a shift for women that has been a long time waiting. Theres also been a shift where some families have the women being the main money makers where dads stay at home with the kids.

I'm always interested to see how things change over time, and this topic made me consider what my family may have looked like in a different time. To think about how far we have come in terms of equality since colonial times is also really powerful and reassuring.

My parents have been divorced since I was 3, so I could understand and relate to the discussions we had surrounding divorce. I have always been under the impression, that 50% of marriages end in divorce, and that majority of marriages just do not work out, based on my own experience with my family. However, this class showed me how the statistics are not fully accurate, and I gained more knowledge on the topic of divorce.

I really enjoyed reading the article "Sorted: Growing Up, Coming Out, and Finding my Place." I though this was a great article and gave us an insight to growing up as a trans kid.

I really enjoyed becoming more educated on gender and what that means and how difficult it is growing up to feel out of place. It's helped me to be more compassionate.

I think it is somewhat necessary for families to understand what it is to be involved in another culture/nationality. - Analise L.

Although by numbers women are getting abused more in domestic relationships, I think it we should talk about mens abuse more. There are all types of relationship dynamics and men should not have to suffer alone.

I remember learning about how in other countries/societies in one example how children were seen not as been the children of specific parents, but rather as everyone's child. Obviously when we think of family we think of direct family, and sometimes we think of other people with close relationships as family too, but its interesting how there are different constructs of what a family is. And I think its a nice concept to think of more people as being family, and treating them as such.

It was really fun to be in the hot seat for the honors book presentation I worked on with Ethan and Sophia. I felt like I learned a lot in the process about the numerous situations that trans people can end up in and how various problems could be mitigated. I also really enjoyed talking about it to the class :)

It's remarkable the amount of people who live in poverty and how difficult it is for some of them to get out of it. The system needs to be restructured. I have made it a point to continue to donate to help fight poverty.

I enjoyed learning about gender non conforming and transgender children and the shift from corrective to affirming model of treatment in the book the trans generation. The affirming model of treatment has shown the best outcome for gender non conforming and trans youth so we should definitely push for that :)

Its terrible what people have to go through and it was fascinating to learn how the welfare reforms inadvertently created an epidemic of extreme poverty that gives people no way out.

After watching the short clip of same sex couples raising children, it was clear to see the negative and positive effects it had on the children. It helps these children know what love is and that love has no restrictions but it could also effect children when it comes to school and friends.

I really liked this project because not only did it allow me to connect with both men and other women about women's issues, it taught me that there are more people who understand what women go through than I thought.
