I learned a ton this semester on a variety of different topics. I would say that the most important things that I learned were:

1. Cultural differences between ideas of race and how they shape society.  I really enjoyed our discussions about Anita and the Brazilian music industry.
2. I learned about plastic surgery and its significance in society. I really enjoyed learning about plastic surgery because it is a contrast within our society and provides an interesting look into cultural norms and how they differ.
3. I also enjoyed learning about class differences and their effects within society. This came through a low through the study of favelas and provided an interesting view of cities that are commonly portrayed and shown in the US.
