Animal_Rights__Service_Learning_Requirement

Animal Rights: Service Learning Requirement I participated in my first service learning course during my second year of college. Prior to taking the course, I was completely ignorant about the course’s focus, Animal Rights and the activism involved with it. I simply needed an English class to fulfill some of the general education courses required at my university. Through out the course I was constantly coming to new realizations and discovering how unjustly our society has been treating animals. To my surprise, I was finding out that this really was an issue that played a major role in the lives of everyone on the planet. The service learning component meant that I was actually out of class somewhere, learning about the subject material through hands-on experience, in this case, volunteering at a local Animal Rights organization. I was learning all of this through a class that I had taken entirely because I needed the required credit that it offered. I have been so enamored with the subject material and the hands-on experience learning that I have recommended the course readings to many of my peers.
