Worldview



1.    How does your life compare to that of others?
I really enjoy my life and the opportunities that have been given to me. I know there are people out there that are way more privileged than I am and I know that there are people who are less privileged then I am as well. I trying to learn something from everything I do and appreciate what I have because there is always a chance that you may not have everything you need in life. I think I have a comfortable life my parent support my goals and help me pay for college and much more and I am grateful for all of that.

2.    How does life in the United States compare to life in other countries?
Again I know that some countries live just as comfortably as the states; however I also know that there is poverty everywhere you go. I think living in the states leaves people with a lot more options and opportunities then other countries because of the resources it has as well as the programs that are available.

3.    Why is it important to learn about life in other countries? (Or is it?)
I think it is very important to learn about life in other countries. Everywhere you go you can learn something. Other countries have lots to off in terms of education, health care and many other aspects as well as examples not to follow. I think it is good to have an understanding of other ways of life because it makes one less bias and more open minded to how other people thing and feel.

4.    Has this class changed your worldview?
This class has changed my world view and in many ways in terms of family life and children. It is interesting learning about how different countries structure themselves and go about their day, as well as finding out about what is important to them.
