post 18- central theme

i believe that the central theme for this course, was global awareness. we touched on topics across seas like syria and the arab springs movement, but we also touched on topics that were closer to home, like the shootings in Connecticut and the debte about local coffee spots. this class helped to bring in local news and make me aware of the things that are going on around. it also put things in perspective fro me. i have aways just been  vaguely aware of Canada s issues, but i now i feel i have a better understanding for the issues around the world.
