End of semester reflection-Of the topics and information that we have covered this semester in the course, what has been the most impactful or interesting?
The most interesting topic of those covered this semester has been Violence Against Women and Occupational Health. During this topic we viewed the movie North Country, and this movie enlightened what women went through in order to be treated fairly in the work environment. This movie also encouraged the formation of a sexual harassment policy that is functional even today. This topic has been interesting to me because I work with men and their views of women can sometimes interfere with our relations as teammates. For example, they may see a task as being to big, and may require the assistance of a man. This is similar to what the women in the movie went through working in a mining environment which usually employs men. The theme for this topic is in every growing environment change is required, no matter the turmoil.
