This past weekend I was talking with the camp director about the paper I wrote about calling the campers "guys". I found it interesting that her opinion was almost the exact opposite of mine. She felt that by making a point of calling the campers "girls" or "ladies" we are pointing out that we are different and that this is a small space away from everyone else. She felt that we would be distancing ourselves even further with feminine word choices. Although I disagree with her, it was great to have a lively, intelligent conversation about topics from class outside the classroom. I really felt like I was applying the things I learned in class and was doing my part to make positive changes within my society.
