For those interested, here is the link to the suicide prevention website I made for my capstone. Suicide Prevention Google Site

I think for me the most provocative thing we talked about was feminism and Douglas' book. It really addressed things that I hadn't really thought about before. For example, it always seemed to me that sexism was on its way out of our society when really it just has a different face now. I also found it really challenging yet interesting to write book reports and feature articles. These are things I really had to work hard on since I had almost no experience with that sort of writing. I’m too used to writing in an academic fashion. I felt it was a good change of pace though, especially after writing things like lit reviews for my capstone.
