In last week’s class I truly felt like the class had some of the best conversations we had ever had‚ at least in my opinion.

In day to day life‚ people judge and make biases with every person they meet. It can be on the way someone walks‚ the way they speak‚ or just how they carry themselves. Anything and everything that is seen is up for grabs. That’s the way people have been for decades. But the most prominent is between genders. For years‚ men have had advantages women were simply denied. In the early 1900’s women were treated incredibly unfairly to today’s standards. For instance‚ they couldn’t vote‚ one of the most
