I guess I could sum up my C.C. experience with the classic phrase, "the more things change, the more things stay the same." The majority of things we discussed in class were completely new to me, although I did have several preconcieved notions on things like class, race, and subjective history. The thing though is that the Theory Toolbox and all our discussions didn't really sway my opinion on anything. All it really did was make me a slightly more informed asshole. So when I make fun of my Italian friend Phil, I can now say I'm pointing out his "Italianicity," and then proceed to point out every detail that makes him Italian like we did to that advertisement (albeit in a more comical and slightly bigotted fashion).
But all joking aside, it was a great class and was worth paying for (the prom/wedding thing was cool). I enjoy it when I'm given an opportunity to look at things in a different light, and that's basically all this class was about.
Which reminds me. I still think that one picture was a volcano, and NOT a nuke going off God damnit!
