When it comes to my experience in this Colloquium class, I mainly feel as if the videos were the most effective tool. I was able to see the impact of oil drilling, climate change, and other important things. These things that I learned from the video I was able to share with others. For example, my father loves to fish and always has. The video we watched about the blue fin tuna made me realize, even more than I already knew the problems of overfishing. While my father only does drift fishing and doesn’t catch blue fin tuna, it is still imperative that people become more aware of what they are doing, especially since the smaller fish may be food for the fish that have dwindling populations. Mainly, the topic on climate change had the biggest impact since that was a consistent theme throughout the class and as stated in a previous entry, it is just worrisome when it comes to my future as a woman who wants to have a family and a sustainable quality of life. Also, the service learning hour fulfillment just made me more aware about my career choice in wanting to work with animals. I’m thankful that in this class, we had the choice to choose what we wanted to do for our service learning. In my other IDS course, Foundations of Civic Engagement, we were forced to work on a class topic that was not fun at all. I enjoyed the freedom we were able to have in this class. Because of this class though, I have made wiser food choices and am more knowledgeable about a lot more than I was when walking into this class.
