Todays lecture and tutorial was very full on. Taking RMPS in secondary school already means that I have an interest in religious studies.

I learned that religion plays a part in todays society wither you as a person finds it important or not. There are many aspects of religion and multiple theories behind them. Todays tutorial enabled us as groups to discuss some opportunities that religion can provide in a society. That religious institutions can provide a place of comfort and care in a community. That religion can guide people through difficult times. Malinowski believes that religion fulfils people biological and psychological needs.

As this was our first religion input, I feel I have grasped the concepts discussed but will need to do more academic reading to gain a better understanding. Speaking in class also furthered my confidence and made me realise that its okay to answer out in class.

I feel that this topic will be useful and important in my teaching career.
