Attended a class that affirmed my thought that;
A. People fear what they don't understand
B. A sample doesn't represent a population
C. Educated people can be narrow minded and shallow in defining certain issues
D. Most of us are sheep that follow a shepherd command or views without depth
My lecturer shared his views and said that he was a part of a body that was responsible in curbing the growing issue of LGBT 6 years ago. The way he explained his roles as well as how they approached the matter saddened me a lot. I felt so uncomfortable sitting in the class and looking at everyone nodding in agreement to whatever he said. I have the sinking feeling that some idiots in the class might propose to do a class project of creating awareness by highlighting the negative of this sexual orientation.
I don't know how things will get better if our future educators and those who deemed themselves educated think that LGBT is all about SEX.
People only what accept information that they are comfortable with, besides if they have said something event if they wanted to, the whole class might label him/her or be against him/her, for the whole semester or year him/her there. Its not their fault really.
ReplyDeleteIt was uncomfortable sitting in that class. Plus I did have the same train of thought as you did, I might be shunned the whole semester, 14 weeks of sitting in class with people glaring and talking behind your back.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I would just sleep ... hahaha!
