The most interesting topics that I have learned are the racism, invention of heterosexuality, and masculinity as homophobia. The concept that I have learned in racism is that it is not limited to any specific group of color. It can be any of group based on their personality traits, physical appearances, and their belongingness. With the help of the invention of heterosexuality, it has allowed me to understand the sensitivity of different gender-oriented actions and behaviors ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"7KGG2Wfc","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Rothenberg)","plainCitation":"(Rothenberg)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":1489,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/F0XOCTdk/items/FJNZVNB9"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/F0XOCTdk/items/FJNZVNB9"],"itemData":{"id":1489,"type":"book","title":"Race, Class, and Gender in the United States: An Integrated Study","publisher":"Worth Publishers","URL":"https://books.google.com.pk/books?id=6Cu2CwAAQBAJ","ISBN":"978-1-319-08189-8","author":[{"family":"Rothenberg","given":"P.

Lastly, masculinity as homophobia has made me able to learn the traditional perspective of masculinity in society.

It is important to allow college students to learn about multiculturalism and diversity. This is important to avoid any stereotype and discrimination of any gender and sexes. With the change in time and more freedom, more genders have emerged, and to create a clear understanding; it is important to decrease the gaps in communication. While diversity and multiculturalism will allow the students to overcome these gaps and understand different perceptions to allow college students will allow them to understand the stereotypes in the society that are created by the different actions and perceptions of different genders. Diversity will allow them to experience different gender orientations and make them able to differentiate between assumptions and realities that are important.

According to my reflection about the topics that are necessary to be studied are different concepts of feminism that have led to discriminations against men. I am suggesting this for a reason that, new waves of feminism have changed orientations towards the real meaning of feminism. It is also important to study homophobia of masculinity and religion because men in some religions relate to patriarchal concepts that have been considered in our traditions. Creating a clear understanding of religions and genders is important to avoid discriminatory behaviors.
