Blog Assignment #1

Hi my name is Amanda Gow and I am a sophomore this year at Arizona State University. My major is Recreation and Tourism Management. When I started college I thought I wanted to be a pharmacist, but I soon realized that I could not handle the science classes. I changed my major to RTM because I currently work at the Westin Kierland Resort and I enjoy it very much. I also love to travel so I figured RTM would be the perfect major. I registered for this Women and Society class because it fulfilled the cultural diversity credit I needed as well as fitting in with my schedule perfectly. I expect to learn about where women stand in society and how people view them. I think "women's studies" is about the kind of rights women have and do not have, as well as how that has changed over the years. This class sounds very interesting and I am excited to see what it is all about.
