My lessons have included passionate debates on topics such as Marxism, sexism and religion; these debates have been thought provoking, making me re-examine the choices I have made and my everyday actions. I have discovered so much about the indirect influences on individual, as well as group behaviour, and would like to continue learning. Through reading various books including The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan I have been able to enhance my sociological knowledge and then incorporate these additional ideas into my essays, resulting in refined analytical and evaluative skills and an overall improved grade.
