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.

I agree with you that sometimes the view of man towards women changes the relationship at work. I have seen this my self at work where by our assistant manager is a woman and most of the time employes do not respond towars her request emediately as they would respond when other man management team members gives the orde . I think the course was impactful and intresting at the same time
I also thought that violence against women was a significant topic covered this semester. It is a sad thing to know that men impose violece on women just because they feel they can. It is important for women to chose the right partners who will have respect for them physically and mentally. Abuse and violence is something that should not be a part of any relationship.
