4) How did the workshops affect your perspective of the topic that was discussed?
Sotomayor is the first woman that appointed by the President that serves as the judge at the Supreme Court. I think this is an important issue because even though men and women deserve to be treating equally in nowadays, there are still less women serve in our government. Therefore, Sotomayor shows that woman can take the lead in the society.
5) How did the workshop take you out of your comfort zone?
This workshop helps to take me out of the comfort zone because Sotomayor shows that woman is not always weaker than men. Women can also work at the position which used to be men’s. Sotomayor gives me courage to take a bigger step in persuading things that I want.
6) Explain what the workshop was about and tell us why you specifically chose that workshop.
There are professors from the history department to explain why Sotomayor being appointed as Supreme Court judge is an important issue. We listen to their perspectives and there are also Q&A sessions in which students could ask for more information regarding this issue. I chose this workshop because I want to get involve and see the change of America.
