I’ve learned a lot about social
justice and human rights through my training as an RA. So while I enjoyed
discussing those areas, the most important thing I learned about in this class
was the history of Cape Town. Prior to this course, I had basically no
knowledge about Cape Town, so learning about the Apartheid and matriculation,
listening to talks from people from the country, and learning about social
issues within the country were very valuable. I think this is all very
important to know so that I can have a better understanding of the background
of people we will meet there. We will be entering an entirely different
culture, and any knowledge we can have to begin understanding it is valuable.
Further, it was valuable learning things about our own country. I didn’t really
know that people would be asking us so many questions about our government and
current events, so I’m glad I was able to become more knowledgeable about that
as well.
