In todays lecture in society and lifestyles, we were introduced to religion and society and how they affect each other. I have learned about what religion is and what it means to people all around the world. By doing this I absorbed a lot on how diverse and similar religion can be to one another. I have also learned about the functions and views of religion from a variety of people such as Bronislaw Mlinowski who is an Anthropologist.

I understood most concepts, as I was intrigued to what people’s views were. I also went to a school which taught religious education twice a week, where I learned about the morals of different religions, however I did not go into much depth.

There are some theories about religion which I am new to, however to learn more about this, I will look through my “Religion and Society” booklet to recap on what I learned. I will also study journals that some sociologist wrote, so that I have reliable sources to back up my points.

I have become more open and aware in this module and this is a module which teaches us about society, diversity and a variety of factors which affects the life that surrounds us. To improve this I will not use or get my information from biased media such as newspapers and instead I will be diverse in my findings about religion and society. Hopefully this will improve my writing as I will have reliable sources for evidence, which hopefully will affect beneficially for my exam.
