Beginning this course I didn't expect it to open my eyes in as many ways as it did. Though I'm not sure it drastically changed my opinions on any of the discussed topics, it did open my eyes to new ways of thinking that I had not previously considered.
Leaving the class I approach the concept of Liberalism from a much expanded viewpoint. Before this class I wasn't aware of the ways in which the overarching concepts of liberalism are present in our everyday lives. What made me most realize how present liberalism is were the classes in which other professors came to speak. Looking at all different subjects through the lens of liberalism made it apparent how applicable it is to all fields. I've never taken a class before that incorporated religion, politics, community engagement, and even music all into one coherent course. By examining each of the subjects we did through the lens of Liberalism we were able to talk about a broad range of topics, which proved to be one of my favorite aspects of the course.
I also have gained a greater interest in the humanities as a field overall. Because I am a science major, many of the courses I take are very different from this one. But despite it's differences from my other classes, this course has remained one of the most interesting that I'm taking because of it's application to all areas of life and fields. This course has expanded my knowledge in not just one area, but in the many that it covered under the umbrella of Liberalism.
