1. I was in contact with Arielle this week because she wanted me to transport a bird to a foster, but I was unable to help because I had work.
2. Since we talked about a feminist's definition of health care, I can still tie in a connection with my project. Something that I think should be included in health care is security for women who are abused if she is in working for an "nonproductive" job. In the health care system, if a woman is supported by the husband's health care and he beats her, the woman should still be covered if she left him to find shelter. I know that by law a woman can still be supported by her spouse's insurance for a couple of years after a divorce, but in this case I think that there should be some kind of system that helps the woman get back on her feet until she is stable enough to support herself if she does not do so already.
3. Before this class I never really looked deep into how women are treated differently in the work place, and in life in general. By doing this project, and seeing a situation first hand, my eyes have been opened to see how real these issues are. It has made me think about the things I take for granted, as well as how such a little gesture can make a huge impact and really help someone in need.
