Prejudice and Ideology

For a reflection (PDP) on your learning today, please consider the following points.

 

  1. In brief, what have I learned from the lecture, independent task and tutorial today? Please be specific.  Today has allowed me to learn about prejudice, discrimination, social norms, conformity and non- conformity, ideology and secularisation. This has given me a more in depth definition of each one and has allowed me to relate these topics to society through use off examples.
  2. Do I understand the main concepts and issues of the topics and areas I have learnt today? Where possible, how can I evidence this knowledge? I feel that I understand most of the concepts and issues that were taught today but I feel that I am still struggling with the topic of secularisation because I don’t believe that it really affects me as a person. In order to improve my knowledge of secularisation I think that I have to research more examples of this in society and possibly look for a definition that allows me to make sense of this particular topic.
  3. How has my knowledge in this area developed/increased today?   Are there specific areas that require particular improvement?  How will I address that? Today has allowed me to understand the differences in prejudice and discrimination.  I now know that discrimination is taking action on your prejudice.
  4. If at all, how does what I have learnt today relate to my general understanding of how, prejudice as an example, impacts on your micro and macro world? Any possible career opportunities/aspirations as a future primary teacher on the things I have learnt today? I can understand that discrimination in the world effects people negatively, when it could be seen as completely unnecessary. For example, discriminating someone due to their ethnicity is unneccesary because we are all human and we are all the same, your skin colour does not determine what kind of person you are. As an aspiring primary teacher I would love to be able to teach this topic to children to broaden their knowledge and to look at society in a non- stereotypical way.
