The Journey Was Great!

I had the opportunity to take a variety of behavioral science classes as I was earning my degree at Granite State College. I was always on the lookout for a class that would meet my requirements and be something different, something that I hadn't taken before.

About three years ago I took "Men and Women in Cross Cultural Perspectives" as part of my adult education classes at GSC. I believe it was offered during the summer as a weekend intensive. It was a very interesting class as we studied the different roles that men and women have in different cultures throughout the world.

I don't think I knew anyone in that class from prior classes. While it's always nice to see a familiar face, it's equally interesting to go into a classroom and know no one as in this case. We were all women in the class except for one young man from Africa who was studying in the USA. It was actually terrific to have his insight in this class as he was younger than most of us, was from an entirely different culture and was the only guy in this class of women! Even among the women, who at face value had very similar cultural experiences, the diversity of opinion and perspective was rich and surprising.
