The Identity section of this class was one that I thoroughly enjoyed. I was able to read different essays, break them down, analyze all of the different parts of the story and also relate them to my own experiences. The very first group discussion board assignment in the Identity section is where, I feel, I was best able to demonstrate my critical thinking skills.
The first Identity group discussion board assignment was to read both of the following essays and basically analyze what point each author was arguing and if they would agree with each other.
“Dude Looks Like a Lady” by Kathy Wilson
“The ‘He’ Hormone” by Andrew Sullivan
After reading the essays I was able to clearly define the points that each author was arguing. I was also able to point out different ways that the authors backed up their arguments. The following statement basically sums up the whole of all the parts of both essays:
“Gender is something that is established by how a person feels and also the hormone’s that are running through their bodies.”
In this class there have been all different types of essays to read. Some of the essays have been easy to break down and analyze, others just kind of left me wondering what the author was actually trying to say. I feel that as the quarter went on, I knew what I needed to be looking for in order to dissect an essay and get a better understanding.
