This course has allowed me a few firsts. My first interaction with feminist theory and my first interaction with and creation of a blog, to name a few, were due to this course. Coming into this course I looked at it as a way to open my eyes to things from new and interesting perspectives. Being able to observe, interact and objectively analyse a situation was and is my main goal.
This course has introduced me to feminist theory, diffusion of innovation theory, narrative theory, rhetorical analysis and some insight into communication research. While I cannot say that I fully understand all that has been taught throughout the semester I am confident that the knowledge that was imparted on me has significantly altered the way that I view everyday activities and the media and with a little more research and revision can become so integrated into my own thinking that it becomes second nature.
Feminist theory though, has been my greatest challenge to date. I am unable to fully understand the perimeters of the theories. Hopefully it comes full circle before the exam date.
Overall this course has met my expectations and while at times I felt overwhelmed with all the new theories and perspectives, it is through this state that I am able to point out my weaknesses and work on them till I achieve the desired results.
