Just a few thoughts...

I have a couple different things that I would like to cover in my post:

The first being a short film that everyone should watch if they have time.
Love Is All You Need? is the name of the film and it explores the idea of "heterophobia". In the film homosexuality is normal in society, while heterosexuality is viewed as deviant and abnormal. If you haven't seen this somewhere else already, I highly recommend anyone to watch. It really changes your perspective on things and society in general. And its only about 20 mins long.

Additionally, I just wanted to share a few thought on Tuesday's discussion of plastic surgery. I couldn't help thinking about surgeries that may be "necessary" or beneficial to an individual's personal health, but possibly sometimes viewed negatively. For example, breast reduction surgery may be viewed negatively and has been in the media. In the popular film "Superbad", the main character Seth says in regard to this surgery, "That's like slapping God across the face for giving you a beautiful gift." In this case even a sometimes beneficial surgery, that for example may help reduce back problems, is viewed as problematic.

Lastly, I think that the issues we have addressed in this class are extremely important and need to continue being challenged and discoursed. I know that society takes a long time to see changes and progress, but to sit in a classroom where many individuals feel changes need to be makes the future of change feel somewhat more promising. We are the future generation and even if we can't make progress ourselves, we can hopefully pass the knowledge and inspiration down to the next one.
