The class that fulfilled this was Honors Citizen 110 called “Bodies and Citizens.” In this course we discussed different culture’s rights and how their bodies affected their citizen rights. The first topic was American Indians and how their bodies were judged by the settlers because they lived differently. We went on to discuss African Americans, how women in labor are treated at hospitals, the LGBTQ community, and sterilization. Throughout the class we read about these topics and annotated them and then came to class to have a seminar and get more background about the readings. We were also assigned one of the readings in order to do a three minute thesis presentation. At the end of the year instead of taking a final test we had a final project. The class had to pick a topic they were interested in a create a class, similar to the way this class was constructed. I chose to make my project around the topic of assisted suicide. I had to provide a “course description” for my class, then I found articles related to my topic. The journal articles I found were not discriminating against one belief or another; instead, they looked at both sides for the “class” to make their own opinions. After I finished creating the class, I presented an overview to my teacher as a presentation. This class was a great introduction to what college professors think in terms of work ethic and speaking infused classes.
