From this lecture the main concepts that I learned was exactly what inclusion and equality mean. Previous to this input I would have said that the two terms meant the same thing, although after today I have released that while they were closely linked they have two separate meanings. I have also widened my knowledge on the Equality Act. I had learnt about this in school although it was good to refresh my memory and discuss the importance of it. Another thing that I found very interesting was the Allport’s scale of prejudice and discrimination. I feel like I really understood all the different stages, such as Antilocution and Extermination, and it something that I will continue to look into in the future.
I feel like I have understood all of the main concepts discussed today, however I feel further reading is required on topics such as the PCS analysis, to widen my understanding in order for me to be able to put it into practice in the future. I will visit the library and look for online articles that explain this in more depth.
I feel like my skills have been developed as I have been exposed to langue that I may not have necessarily used, this should improve and benefit me in the way I write in the exam.
I feel like overall this topic was very interesting and I learnt a lot that I hope to use in the future. I think that clarification of what is expected of me from next weeks lecture will put me more at ease. I think that this was all very relevant to the 21st century (equality) and with further background reading I hope to widen my knowledge in all areas discussed today so that I can apply it in years to come.
