Overall, I have learned a lot from this course. Coming into this course, I was not sure what to expect. However, I think that my main takeaway is that discovering the Truth can be difficult, although it is important. This can be applied to my everyday life by not being afraid to question positions that people have if I am confused or disagree. Providing evidence either through lived experiences or information sources is important to back the Truth that you are promoting. I think that this concept was very much in practice during this course. There were debates, however engaging critically is something that this university veers away from. This is interesting as higher education is supposed to cultivate an education that promotes critical thinking and debate. This was one of the only courses that I have taken at Bucknell that encouraged looking at both sides of an argument to discover which one was writing about a particular agenda and which one was attempting to push the truth.
