Something
I liked about this module was how it exposed death and got us to think about it. I often fear death, but what I should fear is
continuing bad habits that could lead to death over a period of time. It was
interesting to read the discussions and se people’s thoughts on rational
suicide, which is still something that is often debated. I did not even realize
that there was more than one type of euthanasia and that active euthanasia is
illegal in the United States. It was very informative to learn about rape
culture and how to stay safe. I liked how the lecture said when a party gets
out of hand; leave. If we remove ourselves from dangerous situations, we can
keep ourselves safe.
Currently,
I waste a lot of water and that affects the environment negatively. I will often leave the water running on accident or
start the shower way before I take a shower so that the water is extra hot.
Clean water is becoming less and less and we need to be trying to save water
and save our resources to help the planet. From now on I will try to use less
water and sacrifice steaming hot showers for warm showers.
In
the future, I will definitely be more aware of what I am doing while I am
driving a vehicle. I use my hands free a
lot, but that is not always safe. Plus, in order to use it I still have to
press a button which can be distracting. It is important to just drive and pay
attention to the road and nothing else. From now on, I will try to not use my
hands free and wait to talk on the phone until I am parked.
I
think the information in this course was so useful. I love taking health courses because they are
relatable and that helps promote understanding. Many of the habits or issues
listed in the text were things I participate in or have lived through. I will
use the facts throughout the text such as healthy ways to lose weight, ways to
keep yourself safe from harm and situations of being out of control, and
healthy ways to consume alcohol to help better my life and my health. This
course was very straight forward and I always understood my grades and why I
was giving them. The discussions were helpful because they opened up a new type
of learning because we were able to learn from each other and understand each
other’s thoughts and why we were thinking that way. One thing I found to be
difficult some of the time was finding articles for the discussions. Some of
the topics definitely took some research to find a good one that really was
able to portray what I was trying to say.
