Emma's Theory Journal

BWriting this journal has evoked several conflicted emotions from within me.  At first, I found the journal writing to be a bit tedious.  But then as the course went on, I became more passionate about expressing myself.  I was about to situate the theories I learned each week in the context of my Persian and History courses.  Because of this, I had a totally different, more knowledgeable perspective about the world.  More specifically, feminist theory allowed me to understand the many economic, political, and social systems that dictate the writing and events of history, as well as the current international interactions for which I am interested.  This class gave me ideas to which I would not have other been exposed.  So, as you can see by reading my journal, I become more and more passionate as the semester drew to and end because I was finally able to somewhat piece together the complex interactions of the theory and the physical world itself.
