LAST ENTRY :-(

AGE: 21

SEX:female

WHAT IS YOUR DEGREE SUBJECT: Philosophy and Religious Studies

DOES BEING BAD RELATE WELL TO THE OTHER MODULES YOU ARE DOING: I think it does with Philosophy because you are able to add your own opinion to different topics, but not so much with religious studies, only when we talked about being to religious.

HAVE YOU FOUND BEING BAD TOO DEMANDING, TOO EASY OR AN APPROPRIATE LEVEL: i have found it OK it hasn't been too easy of too hard but this module had definitely made me think.

DO YOU THINK THE LIST OF TOPICS COVERED ON THE MODULE WAS APPROPRIATE: I did not quiet understand why we did bad cinema or bandits and outlaws. I felt that different people have different thoughts about what is a bad film.

ARE THERE ANY TOPICS WHICH WERE NOT INCLUDED WHICH YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE INCLUDED: I would like to see a topic about modern problems like sex or homosexuality.

DO YOU THINK THE FORMAT FOR CLASSES HAS WORKED WELL: Yes the classes were good there was problems with how many people there was and about people talking and nothing was ever done about that problem and it effaced people in the class.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE MODULE TEAM: The team was great, they did a good job on lectures and handouts, power points and discussion topics.

DO YOU THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER TO HAVE HAD MORE:
SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS: I think it would of been good if we got split into small groups to do more in depth discussions about the topics.

DISCUSSION AND DEBATE AMONG THE CLASS AS A WHOLE: I think it would of been hard to have more debates and large group discussions because it was such a large group.

INFORMATION AND TALK FROM LECTURES: I thought the amount of information we was given in lectures was good.

THE APPROACH TAKEN IN THE MODULE IS INTERDISCIPLINARY, DO YOU THINK THIS IS A USEFUL WAY OF APPROACHING THE TOPICS COVERED IN THE MODULE: I think it did work because people and myself was really interested by the topics we covered and they was we covered them was good.

DO YOU THINK THAT INTERDISCIPLINARY MODULES ARE A GOOD IDEA: Yes

DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE BENEFITED FROM THE INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TAKEN IN THE MODULE: I have benefited from the topics covered because i have learnt so much about the topics and how they can be interpreted.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MORE MODULES THAT COVER THIS KIND OF SUBJECT MATTER: Yes i would i would like to see a module which covered modern day problems which we as students might have to deal with.

ARE YOU PLANNING TO TAKE THE FOLLOW UP MODULE PH2004 "IT SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED" AT LEVEL 2: Yes with out a doubt

WOULD YOU RECOMMEND "BEING BAD" TO A FRIEND: Yes, because i feel they can learn so many interesting topics from this module.

DO YOU THINK THAT THE BLOG WERE A GOOD IDEA: I thought that they were a good idea i think that more guidance should have been given but i have enjoyed doing them.

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE OTHER ASSESSMENTS: They were good but either needed to be one big essay at least, or two different types of things in which we are able to choose from other than stories.

WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNT FROM THE MODULE: I have learnt that all different things what we not consider as bad other people could like smoking is considered a bad thing for you health but not a bad thing which makes you a bad person, i have also learnt that all people have different opinions on different things and we should not judge them because of it.

WHAT PARTS OF THE MODULE HAVE YOU FOUND MOST USEFUL AND WHY:
i have found doing the web blog very useful because it has made me think about the issues which we do on a weekly basis on a daily basis and it was a piece of work which was constant from the beginning of the module to the end.

WHAT PARTS DO YOU THINK WERE A WASTE OF TIME AND WHY: i thought that the bad cinema was a bit pointless because we all have our own opinions to what is a bad film and what films can influences us.

ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS YOU WISH TO MAKE REGARDING "BEING BAD":
i think that overall the module was good and i will def be doing to follow up module in year 2.

WHAT INFLUENCES US?

• Many things we see or here in our favourite TV programmes or songs by our favorite band my influence us in the way we act or response to a problem. however can we really blame TV and MUSIC for our bad behaviour? should we know ourselves that an action is wrong and not do it even if we have saw it on the TV.

• The biggest case that i can remember about TV influencing us, was the Jamie Buldger story which was in out local papers for weeks on end, two young boys committed a horrific crime and blamed their actions on a film they had saw the night before.

• Should this excuse be accepted or should we know what is acceptable and what is wrong?

• I think that children should be taught at a young age what is right and what is wrong because making excuses like we saw it on TV so it must be OK to do.

• Another point which should be made is why are we aloud to watch such horrific things at such a young age should more be done to parents so cases like this do not happen again?

SMACKING A CHILD RIGHT/WRONG?

SMACKING!!!!!!!

Is smacking a child right or wrong to do? This question has many debates in today's world. some people think that it is not a bad thing to smack your child if they have done something wrong because it corrects them and they will learn from their mistakes and bad behaviour. However is it right if you smack your child fro doing something wrong and leave a mark? Or should smacking be totally wrong because it is classed as child abuse?

When i was younger i was a good child, however i did use to do wrong and my mom use to give me a smack around the back of the legs or on my bottom however i learnt my lesson because i never did that thing again. Again when my sister was born she was a good child, however she did wrong like most kids and my mom and dad use give her smack on the hand and she learn from her lesson. I think that kind of smacking is OK but i do think that if you smack you child that hard you leave a mark or even a bruse i think is wrong and could be classed as child abuse.

I think smacking is down to what the parents believe is wright and wrong and weather their child has done wrong to get a smack.

WHAT IS A BAD JOKE?

Do we always have to find comedians funny? I think the answer is NO because some comedians can make very offensive jokes towards people. They can make jokes towards peoples race,religion and some times their disabilities.

Should these sort of comedians be aloud to make these sort of jokes?
These questions i suppose can have two sides of a story it depends on what sort of things we find offensive and what sort of jokes we like and don't like.

There are some comedians who are very funny and comical and don't make offensive jokes such as Peter Kay, however there are comedians who make offensive jokes towards peoples religion, race and some times disabilities and these are people like Roy Chubby Brown.

TERRORISM?

Terrorism is a big problem in todays world. What should we do about it?
Should we leave it down to the people who know what to do? But these so called people who are experts in dealing with these problems have only seemed to make thin gs worse! Is ENGLAND a lucky country because the disaster which happened in America seemed to have broke the big bond between the community in America? England thought they were saff untill 7/7 happened the we felt what America felt all those years ago. Will we ever be able to go back to the ways it use to be before we was all aware of how srong Terrorism is and how it can effect a country as big as America and shock their community?

What should we do? I think bring back the death penalty for those people who think it is good to get involved with terrorism and terrorists.

WHAT TO GET PIERCED?

There are not many parts of the human body which can get pierced these days. Everyone wants to be the one who gets the weirdest part of their body pierced to start a new trend off? Again do we consider this to be a bad thing if we are piercing parts of our body?

I think that it is down to personal opinion because it could be considered as wrong and bad because we are damaging the body that God gave us and it is the only one we get. However a piercing is not always for life unless it goes wrong them we might have to live with the scars for life.

I feel that it is down to personal opinion weather to have a piercing or not. I my self have had my nipple pierced and got bored with it after a few years so i took it out.

BUT IT IS YOUR DECISION WEATHER OR NOT YOU HAVE A PIERCING.
